A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'There are dark tides runing through the universe...'

Miggea - a star on the very edge of reality. The cusp between this universe and the next. A point where space-time has worn thin, and is in danger of collapsing... And the venue for the grand finals of the competition to win the fabled Arrow of Law.

The Doctor and Amy have joined the Terraphiles - a group obsessed with all aspects of Earth's history, and dedicated to re-enacting ancient sporting events. They are determined to win the Arrow. But just getting to Miggea proves tricky. Reality is collapsing, ships are disappearing, and Captain Cornelius and his pirates are looking for easy pickings.

Even when they arrive, the Doctor and Amy's troubles won't be over. They have to find out who is so desperate to get the Arrow of Law that they will kill for it. And uncover the traitor on their own team. And win the contest fair and square.

And, of course, they need to save the universe from total destruction.

A thrilling adventure featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television written by the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Michael Moorcock

Revue de presse :

"He is a giant. If you are at all interested in fantastic fiction, you must read Michael Moorcock" (Tad Williams)

"The greatest writer of post-Tolkien British fantasy" (Michael Chabon)

"Moorcock has the bravura of a nineteenth-century novelist; he takes risks; he uses fiction as if it were a divining rod for the age's most significant concerns" (Peter Ackroyd)

"The most important successor to Mervyn Peake and Wyndham Lewis" (J.G. Ballard)

"Delicious. The modern genre's most original voice has invited the Doctor into his multiverse for an adventure sparkling with wit and peril... Authentic Moorcock. Authentic Who. An essential read." (Stephen Baxter)
