The Doctor is no more. In his place, a warrior, finally joining the Time War between the Daleks
and Gallifrey. But how far will he go to end the conflict? What lines will he cross? How much of
himself will he sacrifice? The War Doctor is beginning to find out who he is... and the
consequences of fighting with monsters...
1. The Mission.

As the Time War takes on a dark new turn, the War Doctor is tasked by the Time War Council
with locating and assassinating a Gallifreyan renegade waging their own private campaign
against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. Who is the mysterious Barber-Surgeon, and can
the Doctor complete his mission without becoming all that he abhors?

2. The Abyss.

The Doctor journeys towards his target through the ravages of the Time War, the trail leading
him back into his own personal history. With the Daleks close behind and the mysterious
Barber-Surgeon anticipating his every move, he comes to suspect that this is one mission he
won't be coming back from.

3. The Horror.

The Doctor is missing in action. As Gallifrey and Skaro face total destruction, Time Lord and
Dalek forces converge on the realm of the Barber-Surgeon. From his junkyard fortress in a lost
dimension, the renegade warmonger is about to create his ultimate weapon... Who or what
can possibly stop him?
