Cover blurb:
“Love! Surely one of the most destructive forces in the universe. There’s nothing a man — or woman — won’t do for true love." 1812 — The Vishenkov household, along with the rest of Moscow, faces the advance of Napoleon Bonaparte. At their heart is the radiant Dusha, a source of inspiration — and more besides — for them all. But family friend, Captain Padorin, is acting like a man possessed — by the Devil. 2024 — Fitz is under interrogation regarding a burglary and fire at the Kremlin. The Doctor has disappeared in the flames. Colonel Bugayev is investigating a spate of antique thefts on top of which he now has a time-travel mystery to unravel. 5000 — Lord General Razum Kinzhal is ready to set in motion the final stages of a world war. More than the enemy, his fellow generals of the Icelandic Alliance fear what such a man might do in peacetime. What can bridge these disparate events in time? Love will find a way. But the Doctor must find a better alternative. Before love sets the world on fire. This is another in the series of original adventures for the Eighth Doctor. |
