Recuperating after the trauma of his recent regeneration, the Doctor falls foul of a final booby-trap set by his arch-enemy, the Master. When he recovers, the disoriented Doctor looks in a mirror and sees the face of a stranger. He knows only that he is called "the Doctor" -- nothing more. But something deep inside tells him to trust the TARDIS, and his hands move over the controls of their own accord. The TARDIS takes him to a strangely familiar junkyard in late-nineties London, where he is flung into a confrontation between local drug-dealers and Samantha Jones, a rebellious teenage from Coal Hill School. But the Doctor soon finds the TARDIS transporting him to various other places in order to recover all of his memories -- and that involves seeing seven strangely-familiar faces."--Page 4 of cover.
