Product description -
'THERE IS AN OLD VENETIAN SAYING,' THE DOCTOR MURMURED. 'THE COUNCIL OF TEN SEND YOU TO THE TORTURE CHAMBER; THE COUNCIL OF THREE SEND YOU TO THE GRAVE.'
A strange invitation brings the Doctor, Steven and Vicki to Venice in the year of our Lord 1609: a place of politics and poison, science and superstition, telescopes and terror. Gallileo Galilei is there demonstrating his new invention to the Doge, and William Shakespeare is working as a spy for King James I. And there are other visitors too: inhuman ones that lurk in the shadows.
Vicki is abducted to a flying island, Steven is accused of murder and challenged to a duel. The Doctor, meanwhile, finds himself at the centre of what looks like an attempted invasion. But who are the invaders? And why can't they proceed without his help?
