"A joyful celebration of fan love. Unofficial episode guides don't come much more engaging than this" (Benjamin Cook, co-author of Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale).
Doctor Who was already the world's longest-running science fiction series when it returned in 2005 to huge success. Enormously popular, the BBC show encompasses multiple other genres, from horror to comedy to action and historical adventure, and is loved for its uniquely British wit and clever scripting.
Its hero, its monsters, and even its theme song have become pop culture icons. In this volume covering six seasons of the new series, two Doctor Who experts provide insights into everything from the history of the show, including Daleks, Cybermen, and the eight Classic Series Doctors, to a detailed episode guide. As Neil Gaiman complained to the authors, "I have just lost four hours to your blasted book. And I only meant to glance at it." Allons-y!

Zusammenfassung
Orwell Brennan, chief of the Dockerty police force in small-town Ontario, had enough problems on his hands. But things are complicated for the loveable curmudgeon: a police officer from Toronto, in Dockerty as part of a Metro murder investigation, is killed in his hotel room. But Brennan finds help in one of his bright young officers, who teams up with the dead cop's brash ex-partner. Together the two women uncover a ring of shady pawnbrokers, crooked public figures and Russian thugs all after one thing - the Sacred Ember, a very rare ruby once owned by the Tsarina herself.
