The Empire of Glass
(Andy
Lane) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 'There
is a old Venetian saying,' The Doctor murmured. 'The council of ten send you to
the torture chamber; the council of three send you to the
grave.'
A strange invitation brings The Doctor, Steven and Vicki to
Venice in the year of our Lord 1609: a place of politics and poison, science
and superstition, telescopes and terror. Galileo Galilei is there demonstrating
his new invention to the Doge, and William Shakespeare is working as a spy for
King James I. And there are other visitors too: inhuman ones that lurk in the
shadows, watching - and killing.
Vicki is
abducted to a flying island. Steven is accused of murder and challenged to a
duel. The Doctor, meanwhile, finds himself at the centre of what looks like an
attempted invasion. But who are the invaders? And why can't they proceed
without his help? |
