The Dark Path
(David A.
McIntee) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 'He's
one of my own people, Victoria, and he's hunting me.'
Darkheart:
a faded neutron star surrounded by dead planets. But there is life on one of
these icy rocks - the last enclave of the Earth Empire, frozen in the image of
another time. As the rest of the galaxy enjoys the fruits of the fledgling
Federation, these isolated Imperials, bound to obey a forgotten ideal, harbour
a dark obsession.
The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive to find that
the Federation has at last come to reintegrate this lost colony, whether they
like it or not. But all is not well in the Federation camp: relations and
allegiances are changing. The fierce Veltrochni - angered by the murder of
their kinsmen - have an entirely different agenda. And someone else is
manipulating the mission for his own mysterious reasons - another time
traveller, a suave and assured master of his work.
The Doctor
must uncover the terrible secret which brought the Empire to this desolate
sector, and find the source of the strange power maintaining their society. But
can a Time Lord, facing the ultimate temptation, control his own desires?
