THE book the Time Lords (including
the Doctor) read when studying at the Academy, the full-color in-world
history that pieces together the true story of Gallifrey from the many
and contradictory accounts that survived the Last Great Time War.
Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time Lords
tells the story of all of this ancient, legendary civilization, of
notable historical figures, of Gallifrey itself, of the Time War and
much more. The planet Gallifrey. The Shining World of the Seven Systems.
Often to be found in the constellation of Kasterborous. Birthplace of
one of the oldest civilizations in the universe: The Time Lords.
From
their technologies and strategies to the renegades like the Master and
the Doctor himself, this is the definitive guide to the oldest and most
powerful civilization in the universe. They invented black holes,
transmits, stellar manipulators, and they atrophied. A bunch of elderly
academics in funny hats, the Time Lords watched the whole history of
creation. This was the civilization that inflicted some of its most
renowned and deadly renegades and criminals on the universe: the Master,
the Rani, the Monk, the War Chief, yet it was also the benevolent power
that rid the cosmos of the Great Vampires, the Racnoss and the Fendahl.
Featuring
full-color, never-before-seen illustrations and a beautiful interior
design, this is a highly collectible in-world companion no Whovian can
be without.
