Then Again: The Fourth Aeon
Uranus Short
story, published 2005 Doctor:
7
featuring
Mel, the Pakhars, with the Ice Warriors, the Alpha Centaurans, the
Arcturans (glimpse)
Written by Craig Hinton
Ends above Uranus; self-datedly three billion years
after the forty-first century CE. The higher power whose representative is
impersonating an actress cannot, I think, be indentified. Of the Powers in the
War in Heaven, Faction Paradox would hardly be sloppy enough to come to a
celebrity party disguised as an already-dead celeb, and I shouldn’t think the
Enemy would be, either.
The Fate Of The Earth
The Earth has died, been reborn and died again, which
is one reason that I have put Frontios before this story. (Mars is a cinder and Jupiter a
small star.)
Life After Queth Short story, published 2006 Doctor:
5
featuring
Tegan
Written by Matt Kimpton.
Arbitrary placement
Takes place on Queth.
The Word of Asiries Illustrated short story, published 1967 Doctor:
2

Takes place on an unnamed
planet.
Gone Fishing Short story, published 2006 Doctor:
Unbound 6
Featuring
William/Isaac
Written by Ben Aaronovitch.
Informed guess Takes place on Earth, mostly in “the far future”.
Some of the events in this story are, or should be, negated by DS Al Fine.
The Fate Of The Earth
Earth is again settled by humanoids: the
descendants of the very wealthy, living an idyllic tribal lifestyle in an
engineered ecosystem.
The Quest of the Engineer Audio drama, released 2020 Doctor:
4
Featuring K9 II, Romana, Adric
Written
by Andrew Smith.
Arbitrary placement Takes
place in E-space.
Happy as Queeg Illustrated short story, published 1968 Doctor:
2
featuring
Jamie, Victoria
Written
by the World Distributors Annual 1969 crew.
Arbitrary placement
Takes place on Krill.
This is approximately as far in the future as the
first photosynthetic life to develop on Earth, was, in the past.
The Vampires of Crellium Illustrated short story, published 1976 Doctor: 4
featuring
Sarah Jane
Written anonymously.
Arbitrary placement
Takes place on Crellium,
although not, strictly speaking, involving vampires.
The Story Sorters Short story, published 2017 Doctor: 0
Featuring Iris Wildthyme
Written by Paul Driscoll.
Arbitrary placement Takes place on Skullvaria.
Psychic Paper Inc Claims Department
Comic story, published 2014 Doctor: 10
Featuring the Sensorites, the Thoros Betans
Written by Emma Price.
Arbitrary placement Takes place in the Psychic Paper Inc Claims Department. That Psychic
Paper Inc contacts the TARDIS in flight suggests that it has intratemporal
communication facilities, and by implication intratemporal travel facilities.
Gene
Wolfe’s twelve volume sequence The Solar
Cycle (1980-2002) takes place far in Earth’s future. The sun is cooling
–stars are visible in daytime – as is the Earth, causing violent fissuring in
its crust. In The Sword of the Lictor
(1982) the narrative describes a cliff face two miles high, in which every
geological stratum displays the fossilised remains of civilisation. Three and a
half kilometres of anthropic geology clearly indicates a very long time indeed
by twenty-first century standards: I think it can be placed here, after a post Frontios resettlement. At the end of The Urth of the New Sun (1987), the sun
is rejuvenated by the placing of a white hole in it.
Doomland Comic story,
published 2012 Doctor: 11
Featuring Amy or an Amy ganger, Rory
Written by Eddie Robson.
Arbitrary placement Takes place on Vamisash.
Dark Planet Game
book, published 2007 Doctor:
10
Featuring
Martha
Written by Davey Moore.
Informed guess Takes place on Earth, at a far temporal distance
from any other time we have seen it.
The Fate Of The Earth
Earth has stopped rotating in relation to the Sun,
and dayside and nightside Tellurian populations are in conflict.
And
this seems a handy spot to place Hothouse,
Brian Aldiss’s 1962 novel of a non-rotating Earth. By now, only a few
Tellurians still inhabit a vegetation-dominated world, and the sun is again
expanding and unstable
