An unabridged reading of the brand new novelization of a classic Fourth
Doctor TV story by Douglas Adams. The Doctor takes Romana for a holiday
in Paris - a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all its own.
But the TARDIS arrives in 1979, a table-wine year, whose vintage is
soured by cracks in the very fabric of time itself. Soon the Time Lords
are embroiled in an audacious alien scheme that encompasses home-made
time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the
much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the
end) of all life on Earth. Aided by British private detective Duggan,
the Doctor and Romana must thwart the machinations of the suave,
mysterious Count Scarlioni - all twelve of him - if the human race has
any chance of survival.
