The Disaster (book)

The Disaster is the 63rd official book in the Clever Chooks Series. It was written as a small book, not part of any major story arc, due to the Clever Chooks Writing Competition.

PLOT

The plot of the book is:

Tristan and the first A2 prototype are sitting on a beach somewhere, when the TASM takes off, nearly leaving them behind. Tristan and A201 manage to get inside the TASM, to find that the Hostile Acts Displacement System is malfunctioning. The two work together to bring the TASM out of the Time Vortex by crashing it. It lands, almost out of power, at none other than the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Tristan and A201 devise a plan to get home. Since the TASM doesn't have enough power to enter the Time Vortex, they use a permanently looped signal on a frequency only birds can hear. Soon, the C.I.S. Yamato II turns up, bringing the TASM aboard to charge. But during a fight with Daleks, the TASM drains too much power and knocks the ship's propulsion and shields offline. Daleks start beaming aboard. Tristan opens a temporal rift back to 2021 and gives the order for all hands to abandon ship.

A few months later, the Solar-class refit Type 2 C.I.S. Yamato III launches.

TRIVIA


 * The working title for this book was Destination R&R.
 * Originally, James Pond was going to come and rescue them using the Time Gun, but that made the book too short and the idea was soon scrapped.
