From the wastes of Siberia to the intrigue of the
imperial court at St Petersberg, 1916, the Third Doctor, Jo and Liz are involved
in the machinations of the mad monk Rasputin...
As history plunges onwards inexorably, the Doctor's companions realise that history
books can lie. But the Doctor can see the threads that hold all time together - can
he and his companions escape the depravities of the decadent Russia without unravelling the history of Earth?
(This book is the first purely historical adventure
for the Third Doctor, played on TV by Jon Pertwee. A gritty, well-researched drama
with no science-fiction elements beyond the time travellers themselves. This adventure
takes place between the television stories 'The Three Doctors' and 'Carnival of Monsters'.)
