"In 1944, a band of Jewish guerrillas emerged from the Baltic forest to join the Russian army in its attack on Vilna, the capital of Lithuania. The band, called the Avengers, was led by Abba Kovner, a charismatic young poet. After the liquidation of the ghetto, the Avengers escaped through the city's sewage tunnels to the forest, where they lived for more than a year in a dugout beside a swamp, fighting alongside other partisan groups, and ultimately bombing the city they loved, destroying Vilna's waterworks and its power plant in order to pave the way for its liberation.". "Leaving a devastated Poland behind them, they set off for the cities of Europe: Vitka and Abba to the West, and Ruzka to Palestine, where she would be literally the first person to bring a firsthand account of the Holocaust to Jewish leaders. It was in these last terrifying days - with travel in Europe still unsafe for Jews and the extent of the Holocaust still not widely known - that the Avengers hatched their plan for revenge. Before it was over, the group had smuggled enough poison into Nuremberg to kill ten thousand Nazis. The Avengers is the story of what happened to these rebels in the ghetto and in the forest, and how, fighting for the State of Israel, they moved beyond the violence of the Holocaust and made new lives."--BOOK JACKET.

England in the late 22nd century is slowly recovering from the devastation that followed the Dalek's invasion. The Doctor's very first travelling companion – his granddaughter, Susan – is where he left her, helping to rebuild Earth for the survivors. But danger still remains all around... While searching for his lost companion, Sam, the Doctor finds himself in Domain London. But it seems that Susan is now missing too, and his efforts to find her lead to confrontation with the ambitious Lord Haldoran, who is poised to take control of southern England through all-out war. With the help of a sinister adviser, Haldoran's plans are already well advanced. Power cables have been fed down a mineshaft, reactivating a mysterious old device of hideous power. But has the Dalek presence on Earth really been wiped out? Or are there still traps set for the unwary? The Doctor leans to his cost once again that when dealing with the evil of the Daleks, nothing can be taken at face value... This is another in the series of adventures featuring the Eighth Doctor.
