Publisher's Summary

'Danger is my middle name,' Ace said. 'Or it would be if I had more than one. I can look after myself these days, you know.

Freedom. Liberty. Free Will. Independence. Choice. Everyone wants to be free. But at what point does freedom become irresponsibility? What happens when one person's choice causes another's oppression?

The Doctor's on a simple mission to return a communications device he borrowed years previously. Being a Time Lord, he can return it before anyone misses it.

But events in the Mendeb system have moved more quickly than the Doctor estimated, and he lands in the ruins of a civilisation devastated by mysterious invaders.

Independence Day, more commonly known as the Fourth of July, was a national independence ritual that was celebrated in the United States of America on Earth, and commemorated the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom on July 4th, 1776. The day was typically celebrated with gunpowder-based firework displays across the country.

Captain Erika Hernandez was reminded of Fourth of July fireworks seen in her youth while witnessing the destruction of a cargo ship near Alpha Centauri in 2155. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru)

During his debriefing about the USS Enterprise's mission to the galactic edge on Starbase 33 in late 2265, Captain James T. Kirk remarked to Admiral Saylor and Captain Francis Damion, that Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner had "lit up like sparklers on the Fourth of July" when the ship encountered the galactic barrier. Not being native to Earth, Saylor was unfamiliar with the expression and the reference was explained by Captain Damion. (TOS - My Brother's Keeper novel: Constitution)

From Muppet Wiki

Independence Day, more commonly referred to as the Fourth of July, is a national holiday celebrating America's adoption of the Declaration of Independence on that day, and the subsequent break from England. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with fireworks, barbecues, patriotic pageantry, and screenings of such films as 1776. Patriotic icons such as George Washington, Uncle Sam, and the Statue of Liberty enjoy a resurgence on the holiday.
