Doctor Who_ Father Time - Lance Parkin [131]
‘I am home,’ the Doctor said.
He would be coming back. He knew that now. Perhaps all that talk of destiny was rubbing off, but the Doctor now knew that he’d be looking down over the Earth again. One day he would be planting footsteps in the soil of other worlds, exploring strange cities, talking to space monsters, watching alien suns rise.
Soon enough.

About the Author
LANCE PARKIN has, perhaps surprisingly, only had one novel published by the BBC before, the thirty-fifth anniversary story The Infinity Doctors, although he did write four and a half books for Virgin Publishing. He’s kept himself busy contributing to short story collections, writing scripts for audio and video, and was a storyline writer on Emmerdale. He also edited the diaries of his close friend Mandy Dingle, and these were published last year.
