Enter, with the Doctor, Anji and Fitz, an Empire where the laws of physics are quite preposterous - nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and time travel is impossible

A thousand worlds believing they are the Centre, each under a malign control of which they themselves are completely unaware.

As the only beings able to travel between the worlds instantaneously, the Doctor and his friends must piece together the Imperial puzzle and decide what should be done.  The soldiers of the Ambassadorial Corps are always, somehow, hard on their heals.  Their own minds are busily fragmenting under metatemporal stresses.  And their only allies are a man whi might not be quite what he seems (and says so at great length) and a creature we shall merely call... the Collector.

Birth: 12 Jun 1964
Notes:
From About the Author from the book Citadel of Dreams:

Dave Stone has written any number of things, from comics and radio scripts to full-length novels, which currently include Heart of TARDIS and The Slow Empire for the BBC Worldwide Doctor Who range and Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus for Big Finish.  This is the first work published in the novella form, as opposed to a short story which didn't know when to stop, and he thought that with the relatively low word count it would be easy!

He thought that, but…

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
