Book description
The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Martha to Balmoral in 1902. Here
they meet Captain Harry Carruthers - friend of the new king, Edward
VII. Together they head for the castle to see the king - only to find
that Balmoral Castle is gone, leaving just a hole in the ground. The
Doctor realises it is the work of the Judoon - a race of ruthless
intergalactic mercenary space police.
While Martha and Carruthers seek answers in London, the Doctor finds
himself in what should be the most deserted place on Earth - and he is
not alone.
With help from Arthur Conan Doyle, the Doctor and his friends
discover a plot to take over the world. With time running out, who
will fall victim to the revenge of the Judoon?
Featuring the tenth Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant
and Freema Agyeman in the acclaimed hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.
