The Shadow in the Glass is a Doctor Who novel featuring the Sixth Doctor. In 1944 a squadron of Hurricanes shot down a unidentified Aircraft over the dorset village of Turelhampton. 57 years later and the village is still occupied, guarding a dark secret from prying eyes.

When a TV crew sneak through the blockade, the find more than they ever bargained for. Meanwhile, in Cornwall, a journalist is witness to a terrifying ceremony: agents of the worst evil in history plan to unleash a new, unthinkable horror on the world.

Caught up in both a deadly conspiracy and historical mystery, retired Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart calls upon his old friend the Doctor. Half-glimpsed demons watch from the shadows as the Doctor and the Brigadier discover the last, and deadliest, secret of the Second World War.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
