Inhaltsangabe

Based on the beloved Doctor Who episode of the same name by Douglas Adams, the hilarious and brilliant author ofThe Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, comes City of Death…
 
The Doctor takes Romana for a holiday in Paris—a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all of its own. Especially if you visit during one of the vintage years. But the TARDIS takes them to 1979, a year whose vintage is soured by cracks in the very fabric of time itself.
 
Soon they are embroiled in an alien scheme which encompasses home-made time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the end) of all life on Earth.
 
It’s up to the Doctor and Romana to thwart the machinations of the suave, mysterious Count Scarlioni—all twelve of him—if the human race has any chance of survival.
 
But then, the Doctor’s holidays tend to turn out a bit like this.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Now in softcover! A novel based on the Doctor Who episode by Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Despite his best efforts to not end up in exactly the right place at exactly the wrong time, the Doctor, his companion Romana, and his cybernetic dog, K-9, arrive for a vacation in Paris only to discover that they have landed not only in the middle of an audacious alien scheme filled with homemade time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the Jagaroths, but at the beginning (or possibly the end - it is all quite complicated, you see) of all life on Earth. Some holiday indeed.
