The Tomb of Valdemar
(Simon
Messingham) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 Millennia ago, the great god Valdemar held sway over the
universe. Somehow the Old Ones defeated this dark presence and entombed him
beneath the acid skies of Ashkellia, before disappearing themselves for
ever.
Over the centuries, the myths of Valdemar grow, crossing
solar systems and races. A novelist, Miranda Pelham, pieces together the Dark
God's story. Unfortunately for her, revolution and the rise of a New
Protectorate force her to strike an agreement with the decadent necromancer
Paul Neville to find the lost Ashkellia.
The Doctor
and Romana, despite their best efforts, become embroiled in the complex
conspiracies and attempts to re-discover Valdemar. High in the boiling
sulphuric acid clouds, in the Palace of the Old Ones, a place where reality and
dreams collide, the way is being prepared for the resurrection of the Dark One.
The Doctor faces an agonising choice: should he continue with
his quest to gather the segments of the Key to Time, or prevent the rebirth of
a being so powerful that its release will alter the entire fabric of the
universe? |
