The Sentinels of the New Dawn
Caroline John (Liz Shaw), Duncan Wisbey (Richard Beauregard)
Some time after leaving UNIT, Liz Shaw calls The Doctor to Cambridge University, where scientists are experimenting with time dilation. A device hurls them to the year 2014, and a meeting with Richard Beauregard, heir to the Beauregard estate.
But there’s something rotten at the core of this family… The seeds of a political movement that believes in a new world order.
The Sentinels of the New Dawn are stirring. And their malign influence will be felt for centuries to come…
