The Year of Intelligent Tigers

<blockquote><i>“Doctor!” said Anji. This couldn’t be happening, he couldn’t just walk out on them! “Look, give them a chance, they’re frightened, they’re only ⁠—⁠”</i><br><i>“Human?” The Doctor took a deep breath, as though to stop himself from saying anything more. “Now, stay!”</i></blockquote> The weather is going to hell. The tigers are coming to town. And the Doctor has taken his violin and vanished. The island world of Hitchemus is home to a colony of musicians and seemingly harmless alien animals. When the storms and the tigers break loose, the Doctor tries to protect the humans – but the humans don’t want him. When he ventures into the wilderness in search of the tigers’ secrets, Fitz and Anji find themselves on their own, trying to prevent a war. With both sides eager for blood, and hurricanes on the horizon, the Doctor must decide whether this time he’s on the side of the human race.
