Doctor Who: City of Death

<p>The Doctor takes Romana for a holiday in Paris – a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all its own. Especially if you visit during one of the vintage years. But the TARDIS takes them to 1979, a table-wine year, a year whose vintage is soured by cracks – not in their wine glasses but in the very fabric of time itself. <br><br> Soon the Time Lords are embroiled in an audacious alien scheme which encompasses home-made time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the end) of all life on Earth.<br><br> Aided by British private detective Duggan, whose speciality is thumping people, the Doctor and Romana must thwart the machinations of the suave, mysterious Count Scarlioni – all twelve of him – if the human race has any chance of survival. <br><br> But then, the Doctor’s holidays tend to turn out a bit like this. <br><br> <i>Featuring the Fourth Doctor as played by Tom Baker, <b>City of Death</b> is a novel by James Goss based on the 1979 </i>Doctor Who<i> story written by Douglas Adams under the pen-name David Agnew. <b>City of Death</b> is one of the best-loved serials in the show’s 50-year history and was watched by over 16 million viewers when first broadcast.</i></p>
