On the Back Cover:
 'I feel
like a pawn in a blasted chess game, Ace.' 'I know what you mean. Trouble is,
they keep changing the chess-players.'
The TARDIS
has died. Stranded in early twentieth-century London, Bernice can only stand
and watch as it slowly disintegrates.
In the
East End a series of grisly murders has been committed. Is this the work of the
ghostly Springheel Jack or, as Bernice suspects something even more sinister?
In a tiny shop in Bloomsbury, the master of a grand order of
sorcerers is nearing the end of a seven-hundred year quest for a fabled magic
wand.
And on a barren world in the far-distant future the Queen of
a dying race pleads for the help of an old hermit named Muldwych, while Ace
leads a group of guerrillas in a desperate struggle against their alien
oppressors.
These events are related. Perhaps The Doctor knows how. But
The Doctor has gone away. |
