Doctor Who Douglas Adams Shada By Gareth Roberts


From the unique mind of Douglas Adams, the legendary ‘lost’ Doctor Who story completed at last!

The Doctor’s old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University – where nobody will notice if he lives for centuries.

But now he needs help from the Doctor, Romana and K-9. When he left Gallifrey he took with him a few little souvenirs – most of them are harmless. But one of them is extremely dangerous.

The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn’t a book for Time Tots. It is one of the Artefacts, dating from the dark days of Rassilon.

It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. And the sinister Skagra most definitely has the wrong hands. He wants the book. He wants to discover the truth behind Shada. And he wants the Doctor’s mind…

Based on the scripts for the original television series by the legendary Douglas Adams, Shada retells an adventure that never made it to the screen. On sale March 15th 2012.

Read the post: "On sale March 15th 2012."

Where? Online and all good book stores, of course.

the date wasn't there before!

Incidentally, incase there's anybody who didn't know, Douglas Adams' book "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" re-used a lot of the "Shada" ideas (and the Chronotis character) and is a great read despite* not having a Doctor or a TARDIS.

* or perhaps because? (Oh no he didn't!)
