Separate from the Government Outside the police Beyond the United Nations... Founded by Queen Victoria in 1879, the Torchwood Institute has long battled against alien threats to the British Empire - work done in secret, under the cover of darkness. But once in a while, an outsider will find something out about this covert organisation, and Torchwood Archives offers a rare glimpse into what was almost one of Torchwood''s most serious breaches of security: an expose that never saw the light of day. Until now. These previously unpublished writings of investigative journalist Warren Martyn provide in-depth background on Torchwood personnel, case files on alien enemies of the Crown and descriptions of extra-terrestrial technology collected over the years, uncovering more about the world of Torchwood than ever previously known. Discovered by Ianto Jones just before publication, the book was kept in Torchwood as a reference for personnel - and a warning against future security breaches.

But when the Doctor and Sam arrive, murders soon begin. The Doctor finds himself drafted in to examine some bizarre new drugs that are said to enhance the natural potential of the competing athletes. But what is their real purpose? Why are members of the Security Forces disappearing randomly? And just why is Chase Carrington, manufacturer of the drug, so protective of his company''s secrets? Watching and waiting, at the very heart of Micawber''s World, is the race of parasites the Doctor has fought before. The Wirrrn have come to the Milky Way from Andromeda, determined to spread their seed throughout the whole new galaxy, and it seems to Sam that the Doctor has his hands too full to pay their threat full attention."--Page 4 of cover.

This pocket-sized novella is a newly edited and re-mastered release of the 2021 story Here Be Dragons. Many centuries ago, before Robin, before King Richard and Prince John, before even Herne the Hunter, there was Sherwood Forest. And at the heart of it, mystical paths were drawn together to protect the future.

Doctor Who: Generace velkého třesku Nový příběh navazující na devátou sérii Doctora Who, velkolepý trhák BBC s Peterem Capaldim v roli dvanáctého Doktora. „Jsem archeoložka. Ale asi jiná než jste očekávali.“ Vánoce 2015, Sydney, Nový Jižní Wales, Austrálie. Dokážete si představit, jak všechny překvapí, když se v sydneyské zátoce otevře časový portál. A taky si dokážete představit, jak je vyvede z míry, když vedle Harbour Bridge dosedne ohromná pyramida, která nevhodně zaclání Port Jackson, a navíc vyzařuje čirou energii. Dokážete si představit úlek v jejich tvářích, když sem dorazí gangster Cyrrus Guča, profesor Jaanson a mimozemská nájemná vražedkyně Kik Zabiják, aby zářící pyramidu obsadili. A nakonec si asi dokážete představit, jak všechny vyděsí, když jim těsně v patách dorazí skupina podvodníků chystajících se provést svůj zatím nejodvážnější husarský kousek. Tenhle gang sestává z Dlouhonožky (sexy komika), Psohlavce (který má na starosti bezpečnost a palebnou sílu), Mrněte (starajícího se o logistiku), Lopaty (hlavní archeoložky a historičky) a Felčara (jehož povinností je uchránit vesmír před explozí, vedle níž velký třesk vypadá jako provlhlá rachejtle). A když někdo omylem probudí Prastary vesmíru – což podle Felčara nebylo úplně moudré ani rozumné –, věci začnou rázem vypadat velmi komplikovaně. Původní román s dvanáctým Doktorem (Peter Capaldi) a Clarou (Jenna Colemanová) v hlavních rolích. ------------- Garry Russel (* 1963) pracuje na scénářích pro Doctora Who, Torchwood i Dobrodružství Sary Jane a je také autorem celé řady románů a příruček z prostředí Whoniversa.

Donna Noble ist zurück in London, um Zeit mit ihrer Familie zu verbringen und von ihren Abenteuern mit dem Doktor zu berichten. Ihr Grossvater, Wilfred, ist besonders gut gelaunt - er hatte einen neuen Stern am Himmel entdeckt, der daraufhin nach ihm benannt wurde. Er nimmt den Doktor, als Ehrengast, mit zu der Benennungszeremonie. Doch der Doktor ist misstrauisch, auch über andere Veränderungen, die man am Himmel beobachten kann. Vor allem dieser eine Stern dort hinten. Nein, nicht der. Der da, ein Stück weiter links ... Kurz darauf wird die Weltbevölkerung von einer mysteriösen, lilafarbenen Energiematerie kontrolliert, die die Persönlichkeit ändert und die die Menschen seltsamen Handlungen zwingt. Eine alles verzehrende, finstere Macht aus dunkler Vorzeit ist zur Erde gekommen ... und keiner kann sich davor schützen! Der britische Schauspieler und freiberufliche Autor Gary Russell wurde vor allem durch seine Hauptrolle als Dick Kirrin in der Kinderserie FÜNF FREUNDE Ende der Siebziger bekannt. Als Erwachsener verfolgte er jedoch andere Ziele und so wechselte er nach ein paar Auftritten, u. a. auch im James-Bond-Film ''Octopussy'', ins Lager der Schriftsteller. Russell ist ein Whovian durch und durch. 1992 bis 1995 war er der Herausgeber des ''Doctor Who Magazine''. Im Jahr 2000 schrieb er ein Sachbuch über die Entstehung des ersten offiziellen DOCTOR WHO-Spielfilms. Seitdem schreibt er fast ausschliesslich an Romanen und Hörbüchern zur britischen Kult-TV-Serie.
