Divergence

The First Orla Brady Boxset Series

The Doctor and her companions Paige and... The Master (okay, so maybe not quite companions on that one) find themselves entrapped in the Divergent Universe. On their way to escape they'll encounter interfering Editors, the Blood of the Kromon - and perhaps come face to face with Zagreus!

The Covers

New Girl

The Universe Shattered, the Doctor finds herself falling into another. Searching for Paige and The Master, she quickly encounters a woman in this boundless space beyond time. She has fallen into the Divergent Universe. But who is this woman then? What does she want? and Why is she calling herself the Doctor? The Editor has taken a new form, and well - the Doctor's life is never going to be the same.

Waltz

Once upon a time...There were three friends, and together they travelled the cosmos. They thwarted tyrants and defeated monsters, they righted wrongs wherever they went. They explored the distant future and the distant past, new worlds and galaxies, places beyond imagining. But every good story has to come to an end...One of those friends is gone now. And the other two, the two who never truly cared for each other, these two must walk a new path alone. But maybe that's one voyage too many. Maybe they'll discover things they'd rather have left undisturbed... hidden away in the suffocating, unfeeling, deafening brightness. Once upon a time. Far, far away.

In Memoriam

The Master emerges from the white void alone. Paige is dead. On an island, the Doctor considers what life is, now she is confined to the Divergent Universe and has lost her friend. But there's something strange about the island. Something the Doctor can't put her foot on in her grief. Was it the Master? Was it the harsh unblinking reality of this brave new world? Or was it the Time Lords, interfering in her life yet again? The Doctor might not recover from this - and the Editor might not either. Because there's something different about this island. It's where you speak to the lost. It's where the dead rise. And it's where Paige walks out of the sea...

The Breach

The Doctor and The Master find themselves at the Multihaven, the heart of the Divergent Universe. All faiths intertwine here - and the Master finds this abhorrent. But The Doctor is reminded of hope - and so they stay a while. Just to recuperate. The Master leaves her.

But the Doctor can never stop running. Not for a moment. Because even in another universe, even far away beyond the concept of time, the Time War waits. And it forces itself through.

Time leaking into a universe without it. The lives here begin to be butchered, hearts beating in reverse, people rising from the dead who have never died or even been born. Soon a strange man arrives, preaching of the one true religion that must consume the multihaven - Dalekmania!

Lives Among The Dead

Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sits in an old friend's head, Zagreus sees you in your bed, And eats you when you're sleeping.

Zagreus has taken Paige's corpse and is warping it to their own ends. To be free of the Divergent Universe once and for all. And the Doctor has accidentally just helped them. Zagreus is free of Daquar Keep, readying to wage war on this world. And Rassilon waits...

Desecration of The Daleks

Time tears the no-time apart. The Divergent Universe is at it's breaking point as the Daleks unveil their temporal weapons, and their cruellest tricks. The Human Race has been subjugated. The Time Lords have been killed. Every blind chance the Doctor has had for victory is null and void. Hit by a large scale temporal bomb, the Doctor struggles to survive as her timeline is split apart, piece by piece, incarnation by incarnation. The Doctors must juggle all their enemies, but for the first time, three of them won't be enough. They aren't going to win. The Daleks are everywhere, and they are the most dangerous breed ever born. The Doctor is certain of it. There are no options.

No hope.

Only survival.

The Undiscovered Country

Blood of the Kromon

Vengeance

For In That Sleep Of Death, What Dreams May Come, When We Are Shuffled Off This Mortal Coil... Must Give Us Pause.

Paige is dead. She knows that. But yet her consciousness still wakes in a strange realm. Her body constantly in a state of flux. The Doctor is with her. The Doctor and The Kro'ka are the Reapers. They say it's all over.

They're beyond. They're at the end.

DISCLAIMER: It's the Divergent Universe. It had to happen okay

The Doctor, in mourning, raw and unstable, finds herself in the wastes of the Turemesian people. The Divergent Universe is a universe without our kind of time in it - the Doctor knows this. The Doctor usually disregards this. It isn't important, it never comes into play. Because everything still happens in the correct sequence of events. Which is why it's incredibly concerning when the Doctor comes across a companion she had forgotten about, yet another old face she failed to save long ago. But this C'rizz isn't himself. She never met him. He's some kind of warlord - and in his coliseum, blood is spilled. Blood for the Kromon.

In the ruins of Caerdroia, the Doctor's final hour in the Divergent Universe begins...She, alone, has a final battle yet to face. And who else awaits but the oldest and most wicked person the Doctor has known. The manipulator, the architect of all of their woes. Tecteun. Having faked their death, Behind the spread of chaos into the Divergent Universe, the intrusion of the Daleks and the resurrection of Zagreus. Of course? Who else? This has all been about grief, hasn't it? But unfortunately for Tecteun, she's made a vital mistake in her maniacal plan.

She's made the Doctor angry.
