Enjoy Lethbridge-Stewart: Fear of the Web on Kindle – Completely Free!

Candy Jar Books is offering readers the chance to download Fear of the Web, a sequel to The Web of Fear, completely free!

The brilliantly-named book, released at the end of 2018, is free on Amazon Kindle for five days from yesterday (Friday 1st May 2020). Written by Alyson Leeds, this is the second of Lethbridge-Stewart‘s Laughing Gnome sequence, a series of licensed books about the much-loved Doctor Who character, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.

Here’s the blurb for Fear of the Web:

Dame Anne Bishop learned a long time ago that for every fixed point in time, this a fracture point, an event that is susceptible to catastrophic changes in the timeline. And when she is catapulted back in time, she discovers first hand that February 1969 is one such point.

Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is on manoeuvres with the Scots Guards in Libya. Only, he’s about to receive a call from his old commanding officer, Colonel Spencer Pemberton. A call that will drag him to London, and set him on a direct course for destiny!

The London Event, the trap set for the Doctor by the Great Intelligence, changed the course of human history, and for Anne Travers it set into place a series of events that would see the death of her father barely a year later.

Now, waking up in the body of a woman she barely knows, Dame Anne is faced with the idea that perhaps she can change things – not enough to damage the timeline, but enough to save her father.

Future and past are set to collide, which could have irrevocable consequences for the timeline…

To read the 256-page novel for free, head over to Amazon’s Kindle store before Wednesday 6th May 2020 and download your copy.
