Book description
Inside this book is another book - the strangest, most important and
most dangerous book in the entire universe.
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey is one of the
Artefacts, dating from dark days of Rassilon. It wields enormous
power, and it must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.
Skagra - who believes he should be God and permits himself only two
smiles per day - most definitely has the wrong hands.
Beware Skagra. Beware the Sphere. Beware Shada.
