Description: Original novel featuring ex-Doctor Who companion Bernice Summerfield. Released as a tie-in to the audio box set Legion. Cover blurb: Most archaeologists — including Professor Bernice Summerfield — know only two facts about Bubastis: one is that its cheerless swamps are home to five giant stone Cats, whose ancient origins are shrouded in mystery; the other that it has more bugs and beetles than anyone should ever have to deal with. So when Bernice, Ruth and Jack arrive on the planet to search for a missing girl, they are unprepared for what they will find. Like the insectoid villagers with a decidedly squeamish attitude to mammals. Or the archaeological expedition made up of over-sexed students. Or the alarmingly unprofessional Neon Tsara... To make matters worse, Jack suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of the law and Ruth has brain-ache from ingesting forbidden historical knowledge. Worse still, Bernice has promised to write a book of poetry that’s due to be published in a week... and she can’t think of anything to rhyme with ‘Bubastis.’ Inside cover flaps read as follows: As far out on the edge of the galaxy as it is possible for a planet to to be, Legion has spawned a thousand legends — each one of them based around tragedy, death... and hell. Because that is what Legion means to those that know it. Criminals and psychopaths lurk around every corner, looking for somewhere to hide while the heat dies down, whereas others simply come to be forgotten... and some have been waiting for her: Professor Bernice Summerfield. Reunified with friends and family, Bernice finds herself lost in a world of corruption and degradation, searching for an escape. But there is no guarantee of safe passage... because nothing is ever safe on Legion... and nothing in Bernice’s life is guaranteed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
