The Age of Broken Miracles (Jim Mortimore) Cauldron Press/Lulu
12/08/2013 Cauldron Press/Lulu UK
Self-published collection of unsold stories. Hardback edition.
'This is the very last incarnation of the Doctor. He looks young but he’s millions of years old and suffers from a terminal neurological disease: old age. The Doctor is just as powerful as he ever was, more so in fact, but he no longer understands how to apply the great knowledge he has amassed. He has lost his wisdom, if not his desire to do good. He is senile, a patient in a galactic hospital, forgotten by the staff... abandoned by everyone... except the few desperate patients who believe the urban myth that there is a broken god in the basement... someone who can save them... if they can find him... if they can get him interested in their problems... if he hasn't already died himself. Thirty-nine unwritten stories from the Library of Things That Never Were, as checked out by Nebula Award nominated writer Jim Mortimore, author of Skaldenland, The Sun in the Bone House, Campaign, Doctor Who, Babylon 5 and Cracker.'
