Science Fiction
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...
