‘I’m sorry, Doctor, it’s my moral duty.’ The Ambassadors of Death (1970) is Doctor Who at its most adult. A story with no true villains despite its action-hero Doctor, it exposes the uglier side of human nature while offering an optimistic view of humanity's future. It shows how fear alone can warp good intentions into horrifying situations, and that humanity is at its best when offering trust, compassion and kindness even in the face of mortal peril. LM Myles is a Hugo-nominated editor, writer, critic and podcaster.
Author
I’m a Scottish writer, editor and geek, with a blog called Follow That Trebuchet cause medieval siege weaponry is awesome, most especially trebuchets. I co-edited the Hugo Award nominated anthology Chicks Unravel Time (with Deborah Stanish), and Companion Piece (with Liz Barr), and I’ve written for Doctor Who in prose and on audio, most recently the title story on the Big Finish release Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories. My writing’s been published in Cranky Ladies of History, Uncanny Magazine, and Bernice Summerfield: Present Danger, amongst others. You can also hear me say very sensible things about Doctor Who on the Verity! podcast.
