London, 1864 - where any gentleman befitting the title ‘gentleman’
belongs to a gentlemen’s club: The Reform, The Athenaeum, The Carlton,
The Garrick… and, of course, The Contingency. Newly established in St
James’, The Contingency has quickly become the most exclusive enclave in
town. A refuge for men of politics, men of science, men of letters. A
place to escape. A place to think. A place to be free.
The first rule of the Contingency is to behave like a gentleman. The
second is to pay no heed to its oddly identical servants. Or to the
horror in its cellars. Or to the existence of the secret gallery on its
upper floor… Rules that the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan are all about
to break.
