As worlds collide, the Seventh Doctor must confront his past, repair broken trust with Melanie Bush, and stop reality from collapsing under the weight of imagination gone wrong.🌌 Why This Book MattersHead Games pushes Doctor Who beyond time travel and aliens—into psychological sci-fi and meta-fiction.
