Book - Empire of Death
Empire of Death
(David Bishop)
On the Back Cover:


 In 1856, a boy discovers he can speak with the voices of the dead. He grows up to become one of England's most celebrated spiritualists.

 In 1863 the British Empire is effectively without a leader. Queen Victoria is inconsolable with grief following the death of her beloved husband, Prince Albert. The monarch's last hope is a secret seance.

 The Doctor and Nyssa are also coming to terms with loss following the death of Adric and Tegan's sudden departure. Trying to visit the Great Exhibition of 1851, the time travellers are shocked when a ghost appears in the TARDIS, beckoning them to the Other Side.

 What is hidden in a drowned valley guarded by the British Army? Is there life after death and can it be reached by those still alive? And why is The Doctor so terrified of facing his own ghosts?
