Book description
Byzantium. The imperial city - rising dramatically, as if by a trick
of the light, from the peninsula of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea.
Its domes and towers and minarets overlook a place of intrigue, lust,
power, oppression, resistance and murder.
Romans, Greeks, Zealots, Pharisees ... all meet in the market
squares of the great city, but mutual loathing and suspicion are rife.
In this cauldron, the Doctor and his companions arrive, expecting to
view the splendor and civilization fo the Roman empire. But events
cast them into a deadly maelstrom of social and political upheaval. In
the eye of the hurricane they must each face the possibility of being
stranded, alone and far from their own times, in an alien culture bunker.
This Doctor Who adventure features the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara
and Vicki.
