Hulton College in Norfolk is a school dedicated to producing military
officers. With the First World War about to start, the boys of the
school will soon be on the front line. But no one expects a war - not
even Dr John Smith, the college's new house master. The Doctor's friend
Benny is enjoying her holiday in the same town. But then she meets a
future version of the Doctor, and things start to get dangerous very
quickly. With the Doctor she knows gone, and only a suffragette and an
elderly rake for company, can Benny fight off a vicious alien attack?
And will Dr Smith be able to save the day? This is an adventure set in
Britain on the eve of the First World War, featuring the Seventh Doctor
as played by Sylvester McCoy and his companion Bernice Summerfield. This
book was the basis for the Tenth Doctor television story Human
Nature/The Family of Blood starring David Tennant.
