Cover blurb: It is the Italian Renaissance during the corrupt reign of the powerful Medicis. Doctor Who, angry because he was forced to land on Earth by the incredible Mandragora Helix, walks right into a Machiavellian plot. The unscrupulous Count Frederico plans to usurp the rightful rule of his naive nephew. This, with the help of Hieronymous, influential court astrologer and secret cult member. Intent on righting all wrongs, Doctor Who studies their political maneuvers. He uncovers a larger, even more malevolent plot — a plot to rule not only San Martino Province, but the entire world! Hieronymous has been taken over — both in mind and body — by the Mandragora energy ball, an alien, but all-powerful intelligence. Using Hieronymous and his cult members as a bridgehead, the Mandragora Helix intends to conquer Earth and dominate its people! The question is, will Doctor Who prove a true Renaissance man? Will he be able to drain the Mandragora of its power and foil the Count as well? Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, and very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine. Since there’s a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to. This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the galaxies, and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in weird and often wild circumstances.

Note: One of 8 French novelisations, all published in 1987 — the others were: An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Crusaders, The Brain of Morbius, The Abominable Snowmen and Meglos. Cover blurb: Seigneur du Temps, héros de l’Éternité, le Docteur Who connaît aujourd’hui une fantastique popularité. Le succès inégalé de la série télévisée qui lui a donné naissance, la fascination qu’il exerce sur un immense public à travers plus de cent pays contribuent à faire de ce personnage un véritable mythe pour la premiere fois révélé en France. Projeté dans l’Italie nourrie d’occultisme du XVe siècle, le Docteur pourra-t-il contrecarrer les funestes intrigues de la secte maudite des Frères de Demnos et la machination de Mandragore? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
