Timewyrm: Genesys
(John
Peel) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 Mesopotamia - the cradle of civilisation. In the fertile
crescent of land on the banks of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, mankind is
turning from hunter gatherer into farmer, and from farmer into
city-dweller.
Gilgamesh, the first hero-king, rules the city of Uruk. An
equally legendary figure arrives, in a police telephone box: the TARDIS has
brought The Doctor and his companion Ace to witness the first steps of
mankind's long progress to the stars.
And from
somewhere amid those distant points of light an evil sentience has tumbled. To
her followers in the city of Kish she is known as Ishtar the goddess; to The Doctor's forebears on ancient Gallifrey she was a mythical terror - the
Timewyrm. |
