‘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, all-new adventure featuring the 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

Far in the distant future, Earth has
become uninhabitable, forcing mankind to colonise first Mars, and then Pluto...
No longer the coldest planet in the Solar System, Pluto is now warmed by a
series of artificial suns. But access to the sunlight is limited to a select
few... The majority of the citizens of the vast Megropolis cities are being
overworked and overtaxed by the ruling elite, led by the Gatherer, and the
sinister Collector.
When the Doctor, Leela and K9 arrive they discover that all is not well on
Pluto. The human population is being totally exploited, while deep in the
