													 Stone)
 |  |  
 
  Enter,
									 with The Doctor, Anji and Fitz, an Empire where the laws of physics are quite
									 preposterous - nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and time
									 travel is impossible. 
 
  A thousand worlds, each believing they are the
									 Centre, each under a malign control of which they themselves are completely
									 unaware. 
 
  As the beings able to travel between the worlds
									 instantaneously, The Doctor and his friends must piece together the Imperial
									 puzzle and decide what should be done. The soldiers of the Ambassadorial Corps
									 are always, somehow, hard on their heels. Their own minds are busily
									 fragmenting under metatemporal stresses. And their only allies are a man who
									 might not be quite what he seems (and says so at great length) and a creature
									 we shall merely call... the Collector. |
