Cover blurb:
No blurb on back cover. Blurb on inner dustjacket flaps as follows: On a peaceful rural planet, where the colourful pageantry of old Ruritania mingles with ultra-modern Android technology, the Doctor becomes a king-maker in spite of himself. In his search for another segment of the Key to Time the Doctor matches wits and swords with the evil Count Grendel — aided, of course, by Romana and the invaluable K9. Terrance Dicks was born in 1935 and educated at East Ham Grammar School and Downing College, Cambridge. After a spell in advertising the author became a full-time scriptwriter, first for radio, then television where for five years he was Script Editor of the ‘Doctor Who’ series. He is now a free-lance author and writes many of the highly successful ‘Doctor Who’ books. Terrance Dicks lives in Hampstead, London, is married and has three children. |
