Featuring the Fourth Doctor as played by Tom Baker, City of Death is a novel by James Goss based on the 1979 Doctor Who story written by Douglas Adams under the pen-name David Agnew. But then, the Doctor's holidays tend to turn out a bit like this. Aided by British private detective Duggan, whose speciality is thumping people, the Doctor and Romana must thwart the machinations of the suave, mysterious Count Scarlioni u all twelve of him u if the human race has any chance of survival. Soon the Time Lords are embroiled in an audacious alien scheme which encompasses home-made time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the end) of all life on Earth. But the TARDIS takes them to 1979, a table-wine year, a year whose vintage is soured by cracks u not in their wine glasses but in the very fabric of time itself. Especially if you visit during one of the vintage years. "The Doctor takes Romana for a holiday in Paris u a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all its own.
