Cover blurb: Assigned to oversee the installation of a priceless exhibit for the British Museum in Vienna, Lethbridge-Stewart soon meets the intoxicating Melandre, a mysterious fashion model from Paris. Romance quickly blooms and they are soon going on a date, seemingly oblivious to the fact that someone, or something, is stalking Melandre. Anne Travers, meanwhile, is helping out an old archaeologist friend on the Greek islands uncovering the remains of a mysterious race of giants. But that’s not all she uncovers. Soon an unexpected find leads her back to England, and an attack on the Fifth Operational Corps’ base at Imber. Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne find themselves caught up in a mystery that goes back decades — maybe even centuries. The deadly Ice Maidens await, and they won’t be stopped. Which, for Lethbridge-Stewart, means a trip down memory lane to the Second World War, and an encounter with an orphan in the war-torn streets of London. A brand new adventure featuring Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in the classic era of Doctor Who. Based on characters created by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Lethbridge-Stewart is a series of novels set after the 1968 Doctor Who serial The Web of Fear. It is primarily centered around the the characters of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, who was at the time of The Web of Fear a colonel in the Scots Guards, and Anne Travers (also introduced in The Web of Fear), and is set during the four-year gap between that serial and The Invasion, which saw Lethbridge-Stewart reunited with the Doctor and promoted to brigadier and head of the UK branch of UNIT. The character continued in Doctor Who as a semi-regular from 1970 to 1975, and made many return appearances throughout Doctor Who’s history. He is probably the most well-known character next to the Doctor, and a bona fide legend of the Doctor Who universe.
