‘Remarkable. I’m surprised at how much has been uncovered.’

– Anji Kapoor

Spain, 1937. In April, the small town of Guernica was razed to the ground in a

ﬁrestorm that claimed a thousand or more lives. In May, Barcelona exploded

into ﬁerce street ﬁghting as different political factions fought for control of the

city.

Both events have been the subject of ﬁerce propagandist claims by all sides,

but this book examines new evidence to suggest that the two events are more

closely linked than previously thought.

Who were the shadowy ﬁgures working behind the scenes? Who were ‘the

Doctor’, ‘Anji’ and ‘Fitz’ and what was their objectives? And were there really

monsters roaming the streets?

Presented in the form of a novel, History 101 tries to discover if the absolute

truth can ever be revealed. It should be read as part of the ongoing ‘Doctor

Who: Eighth Doctor’ history course.

Prologue

Barcelona 1937

It was a chilly spring morning and the clock was striking thirteen. It had been

hit by a stray bullet in the initial ﬁghting the previous year and now ran to its

own internal theory of time. Sabbath found it amusingly appropriate.

His Agent was late. Only by a few minutes, it was true, and Sabbath was

not terribly concerned about the whys or wherefores of the lateness. He was

concerned that matters here were resolved to his own satisfaction and for that

he needed a reliable Agent. One who showed up for meetings on time.

The caf´

e owner’s daughter came over to remove his empty plate and he

smiled at her.

‘Molt b´

e, comrade, molt b´

e.’

Alicia nodded and went back to her position leaning on the rear counter of

the bar, leaving him alone with the carafe of water and the erratic ticking of

the clock. He leaned back in the battered wicker chair, letting it creak under

his weight, and let his eyes wander over the copy of La Batalla in his hands.

Through the open doors to the square the sunlight was starting to warm the

city. The Drassanes were sullenly silent: what cargoes made it through the

blockades were ofﬂoaded at night, slipping quietly into the black market or the

hands of racketeers and gunrunners.

‘Sorry I’m late.’

The young man was sitting down next to Sabbath, glancing about quickly at

the doorways as he dropped his wire-frame glasses into one of the outer pockets

of his leather jacket, making sure his eyes adjusted to the dim interior of the

caf´

e. Sabbath folded up the newspaper he hadn’t been reading and frowned at

the new arrival.

‘Ah, my dear fellow, there you are.’

His Agent looked back calmly, his mouth barely twitching, apparently un-

fazed by Sabbath’s disapproving glare. Good, he needed someone with equa-

nimity for this. He raised his voice, let it roll out at its natural volume.
