Lethbridge-Stewart: Downtime Child of the New World (Hardback)

Available to order from www.candy-jar.co.uk

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart joins her father, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, in a mission to save her sons life!

For the last nine years Kates life has been a happy one. Other than a minor blip in 2003, she hasnt had to worry about aliens bothering her or her son. Indeed, her biggest concern is Gordys first girlfriend. But it all changes when a face from her past appears, bringing with him a warning.

Gordy and his cousin Conall are kidnapped by a radical group calling themselves the Followers of Maitreya!

The Brigadier and Kate join forces with Douglas Cavendish and Anne Travers on a mission to save Gordy and Conall, which leads them to the ruins of Det-Sen Monastery in Tibet where deadly Yeti roam, and a prophecy is about to fulfilled!

What connects the Followers of Maitreya to a developing online school, Asteroid 4179 which is heading towards Earth, and the Brigadiers family?

In co-ordination with Reeltime Pictures, Downtime: Children of the New World is a sequel to their straight-to-video film, Downtime, which introduced the Doctor Who world to the Brigadiers daughter, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.

Set in September 2004, Downtime: Children of the New World picks up the story told in Downtime, which saw the Brigadier and his daughter join forces with Doctor Who companions Sarah Jane Smith and Victoria Waterfield to defeat the Great Intelligences plan of world domination through New World University. Although a sequel, the novel is intentionally written to stand on its own.
