Cover:
'Life is cheap in Byzantium.
Life is cheap everywhere
that the Romans are.'
 Byzantium. The imperial city - rising
dramatically, as if by a trick of the light, from the peninsular of the
Bosphorus and the Black Sea. Its domes and towers and minarets overlook a place
of intrigue, lust, power, oppression, resistance and murder.
Romans,
Greeks, Zealots, Pharisees… all mix in the market squares of the great
city, but mutual loathing and suspicion are rife.
In this
cauldron, The Doctor and his companions arrive, expecting to view the splendour
and civilization of the Roman empire. But events cast them into a deadly
maelstrom of social and political upheaval. In the eye of the hurricane they
must each face the possibility of being stranded, alone and far from their own
times, in an alien culture bunker. |
