Stories Book The Eighth Doctor Adventures [Books] The Slow Empire 1 image Overview Characters How to Read Reviews 1 Statistics Quotes Overview Released Monday, July 2, 2001 Written by Dave Stone Pages 251 Time Travel Unclear Location (Potential Spoilers!) Shakrath, Thakrash, Goronos Synopsis 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, each 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 heels. Their own minds are busily fragmenting under metatemporal stresses. And their only allies are a man who might not be quite what he seems (and says so at great length) and a creature we shall merely call... the Collector.

I thought I might as well write some of my Thoughts here since I Have BARELY seen anybody talk about this book, is that justified? I mean.. kinda? Don't get me wrong, it's competent, and I enjoyed myself while reading, but honestly it didn't stick with me as much as I would have hoped. It's solid, if you like the EDAs, you probably will enjoy this one as well. It's in my Eyes the Definition of "Solid, but that's it" and sometimes that's totally fine for a Story to be. That sadly does leave it to be one which has not much for me to discuss. It was okay! RandomJoke View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating150 members 3.07 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
