Cover blurb: It’s the Victorian London of Sherlock Holmes. Shrouded in the swirling mists, Doctor Who confronts diabolical horrors as he unravels the mystery surrounding the strange disappearance of several young women. Doctor Who learns a Chinese magician, the crafty Chang, and his weird midget manikin, Mr. Sin, are mere puppets in the hands of the hideously deformed Greel, posing as the Chinese god, Weng-Chiang. It is Greel who steals the young women; it is Greel who grooms sewer rats to do his bidding — but there is even more, much more... Will Doctor Who solve the Chinese puzzle in time to escape the terrifying talons of Weng-Chiang? Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, and very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine. Since there’s a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to. This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the galaxy, and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in weird and often wild circumstances.

Note: Listed on Amazon both with the above ISBN and the very similar 0-426-11973-8 (same as the original paperback edition). This was the last of the so-called “blue spine” Virgin reprints — approximately 70 Target novelisations which were reprinted with new cover designs between 1990 and 1994 after Virgin Books took over the Target imprint. Cover blurb: Stepping out of the TARDIS into Victorian London, Leela and the Doctor find themselves fighting off the trained killers of the Tong of the Black Scorpion. Barely escaping alive, they soon discover that the swirling fog hides other, more sinister forces. Giant rats roam the sewers; young women mysteriously disappear; and a magician’s manikin is found, clutching a blood-stained knife. Has an ancient and murderous Chinese god returned to haunt the streets of London? This is an adaptation by Terrance Dicks of a screenplay by Robert Holmes, which featured Tom Baker in the role of the Doctor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
