I think that this is some kind of sequel to “Three Doctors”.

Get Ready for an Exciting Adventure!

This book is a little different from the previous ones, and that’s part of the fun!

What to Expect:

  • We might fail, start over, or jump back to a familiar point—but that’s all part of the journey! We’ll follow the book wherever it takes us.
  • Some pages will include interactive tasks, like rolling dice or solving puzzles. I’ll use Handles for the dice rolls, though they might not always happen at the same time as the daily summary. Puzzles, on the other hand, are something we’ll tackle together!
  • This time, I’ll be relying on the Wiki for summaries. I’ll also be reading the book myself, and I hope you do too! Since I might post before I’ve finished reading, I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy, but I trust the Wiki to guide us.

Can’t wait to dive in tomorrow!

Well, the words “flood”, “base”, “sand” and “water” might appear in the book…

Search for the Doctor - Zero

You were visiting the Natural History Museum, in the year 2056. There, a guard brought you to an obscure part of the archive. In the corner is a gray-flecked fibreglass crate. The crate reads Property of Sarah Jane Smith. Not for Exhibition. The guard asked you if Smith was a friend of yours, and you respond she was a family friend that you never knew. You signed for the crate, thus beginning the greatest adventure of your life.

Hours later, you study the crate, which has been dragged to your hotel room by two porters. You grow angry at how it is impossible to access the crate, and kick it. Then, a mysterious man appears and begins speaking to you. The man is dressed it outlandish clothes, and somehow got into your room despite it being locked. He tells you his name: Drax.

Drax studies the crate, lifting it above his head with ease. He tells you it won’t be of any use to you, and asks how much you want for it. He then asks for the time and, strangely, the year. He offers you €25,500 for the crate.

  • If you take the money, go to Five.
  • If you decline it, go to Two.

First of all, I enjoyed this first chapter immensley. It’s written in the second person, so it feels more pesonal, and it has a very prose-like style so it feels a bit more proper than the earlier ones. Also: Sarah Jane is a family friend? Is this one of the SJA kids? We are in 2056! The UK has Euro! I knew you’d see reason one day :wink:

Also, so weird to read about Euro in a book from 1986. Did it even exist back then or did this book predict a future currency?

The first choice is immediately an interesting one. I’m tempted to vote for taking the money, but I suspect that might cut iur adventure needlessly short, so I’ll decline. I have a feeling this book isn’t one where no matter what you choose, the end result is always the same.
