About This Item

LONDON.VIRGIN,1996.UK,12mo paperback original,p/back 1st edn.[Paperback original denotes the first format and its first appearance in print of the book/title. Paperbacks usually follow on from the HB edn,but can be published at the same time as the HB edn,but p/back originals are published prior to any other format.] NFINE.No owner inscrptn.Colour pictorial illustrated upper wrap art-work by Alister Pearson; with minimal shelf-wear and negligible creasing to edges.Miniscule rubbing to both head+foot of spine/backstrip and the inevitable reading creases to same.Top+fore-edges very lightly aged - as usual/normal but otherwise generally clean and unblemished; contents bright,tight and clean - no dog-ear reading creases to page corners. The Missing Adventures series was introduced by Virgin Publishing in July,1994 as the demand for the books showed that new, original novels featuring past Doctors would be as popular as the 'New Adventures' series featuring the 7th Doctor. Thirty-three original novels were produced and this title is the 20th of that series. Featuring the 4th Doctor,Romana and K-9,this book is now out-of-print and again, with a low print run,is a reasonably scarce and sought after title, particularly in as good a grade as this.See also rja2182 and rja2184 for other titles in the same series. 'He plans to destroy the world,next Tuesday.' 'How vulgar,' replied the Doctor. 'Nobody does anything of importance on a Tuesday.' It's the sweltering summer of 1930,and Londoners are enjoying the heatwave.The Doctor,Romana and K-9 plan to take a rest after their recent adventures,but the TARDIS warns them of time pollution in the locality.What connects the isolated Sussex resort of Nutchurch with the secret society run by the eccentric Percy Closed? Why has millionaire Hepworth Stackhouse dismissed his staff and hired assassin Julia Orlostro? And what is the truth behind the infernal vapour known only as Zodaal? The Doctor's tribulations as he attempts to answer these questions will excite and enthral discerning readers throughout the land.This adventure takes place immediately after the Missing Adventure: The Romance of Crime. Please contact seller @ rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk,because of the lighter weight and the value of this item,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

Synopsis

From the unique mind of Douglas Adams, legendary author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , comes   Shada , a Doctor Who story scripted for the television series Doctor Who , but never produced--and now, transformed into an original novel... A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Imagine how dangerous a LOT of knowledge is... The Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University, where among the other doddering old professors nobody will notice if he lives for centuries. He took with him a few little souvenirs--harmless things really. But among them, carelessly, he took The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey. Even more carelessly, he has loaned this immensely powerful book to clueless graduate student Chris Parsons, who intends to use it to impress girls. The Worshipful and Ancient Law is among the most dangerous artifacts in the universe; it cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. The hands of the sinister Time Lord Skagra are unquestionably the wrongest ones possible. Skagra is a sadist and an egomaniac, bent on universal domination. Having misguessed the state of fashion on Earth, he also wears terrible platform shoes. He is on his way to Cambridge. He wants the book. And he wants the Doctor...
