Они пришли в миры "меча и магии" Диадемы из разных миров. Уличный мальчишка из современного Нью-Йорка... Девочка-воин из средневекового Ордина... Юный "компьютерный гений" из города высоких технологий Каломира... В одиночку

Трое друзей - Пиксель, Скор и Хелэйн - попадают на Ордин - родину Хелэйн, где идет затяжная междоусобная война. Прекратить ее может только тот, кто сумеет найти скипетр, некогда принадлежащий королю Калигану. Именно его наследник и должен стать королем Ордина…

Шарман и Троица могут быть побеждены, а Диадема спасена, но это не значит, что ничего больше не угрожает Скору, Пикселю и Хелэйн. Как только они хотят расслабиться, все новые и новые неприятности валятся им на голову. Друзьям еще предстоит разгадать немалое количество головоломок, встретиться лицом к лицу со смертоносными магами, выяснить, от кого исходит основная опасность, а также выполнить главную миссию...

England in the late 22nd century is slowly recovering from the devastation that followed the Daleks' invasion. The Doctor's very first travelling companion — his granddaughter, Susan — is where he left her, helping to rebuild Earth for the survivors. But danger still remains all around...

While searching for his lost companion, Sam, the Doctor finds himself in Domain London. But it seems that Susan is now missing too, and his efforts to find her lead to confrontation with the ambitious Lord Haldoran, who is poised to take control of southern England through all-out war. With the help of a sinister advisor, Haldoran's plans are already well advanced. Power cables have been fed down a mineshaft, reactivating a mysterious old device of hideous power. But has the Dalek presence on Earth really been wiped out? Or are there still traps set for the unwary?

The Doctor learns to his cost once again that when dealing with the evil of the Daleks, nothing can be taken at face value...

The planet Gallifrey: cradle of the most ancient civilization in our galaxy, source of the technology that mastered both space and time, home of the people who call themselves the Time Lords — and the origin of the mysterious, quirky, itinerant time-traveller known as the Doctor. When the British Broadcasting Corporation transmitted the first episode of Doctor Who in 1963, no one could have predicted that the programme's popularity would ensure its survival for twenty-eight record-breaking years.

In that first story we learnt only that the Doctor and his granddaughter Susan had left their home planet, under something of a cloud, in a remarkable time-travelling craft called the TARDIS that looked — at least on the outside — like a police telephone box.

The Doctor and the TARDIS have remained the constant elements in a television saga that has seen many changes over the decades. As the years passed we learnt more and more about the Doctor's background, about other Time Lords, and about Gallifrey.

John Peel has researched every Doctor Who story ever shown on television to bring together all the facts about Gallifrey and the Time Lords. The result — illustrated throughout with photographs from the BBC archives — is a comprehensive guide to the foundations of the entire Doctor Who Universe, and a fascinating insight into the most comprehensive science fiction mythos that television has ever produced.

Mesopotamia -- the cradle of civilization. In the fertile crescent of land on the banks of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, mankind is turning from hunter gatherer into farmer, and from farmer into city-dweller.

Gilgamesh, the first hero-king, rules the city of Uruk. An equally legendary figure arrives, in a police telephone box: the TARDIS has brought the Doctor and his companion Ace to witness the first steps of mankind's long progress to the stars.

And from somewhere amid those distant points of light an evil sentience has tumbled. To her followers in the city of Kish she is known as Ishtar the goddess; to the Doctor’s forebears on ancient Gallifrey she was a mythical terror -- the Timewyrm.

The Doctor is repairing the TARDIS systems once again when it is swept up by a garbage ship roving through space, the Quetzel.

When another ship approaches and takes the Quetzel by force, the Doctor discovers that he and Sam are not the only unwitting travellers on board - there is a strangely familiar survival pod in the hold. Delani, the captain of the second ship, orders the pod to be opened. The Doctor is powerless to intervene as Davros is awakened once again.

But this is no out-and-out rescue of Davros. Delani and his crew are Thals, the sworn enemies of the Daleks. They intend to use Davros as a means to wipe out the Daleks, finally ridding the universe of the most aggressive, deadly race ever to exist. But the Doctor is still worried. For there is a signal beacon inside the pod, and even now a Dalek ship is closing in...

Скор и Хелэйн должны спасти Пикселя, вырвать его из "лап" кровожадной колдуньи, жаждущей власти. Колдунья силой увезла с собой Пикселя в Заратан, место, где ночные кошмары становятся реальностью, а заснуть - означает умереть. Хелэйн и Скор, рискуя собственными жизнями, пытаются спасти своего друга. Ожившие скелеты, привидения-вампиры и другие мистические монстры. Сумеют ли они выбраться из умело расставленных колдуньей ловушек? Найдут ли они выход из Заратана, или их участью станет смертельный сон?

Stranded in the jungles of Kembel, the most hostile planet in the Galaxy, Space Security agent Marc Cory has stumbled across the most deadly plot ever hatched - the Daleks are about to invade and destroy the Universe.

But it may be too late for Earth - the Daleks’ Master Plan has already begun... This is the first of two novelisations written by John Peel and based on the TV serial The Daleks’ Masterplan. It is read by Peter Purves and Jean Marsh, with Dalek voices by Nicholas Briggs. ‘BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers... they benefit from new music and sound effects’ - Doctor Who Magazine.

Through a Space-Time Visualiser the Doctor and his companions are horrified to see an execution squad of Daleks about to leave Skaro on a mission to find the TARDIS and exterminate the time travellers.

Eluding the Daleks on the barren planet Aridius the Doctor and his friends escape in the TARDIS. But this is only the beginning of an epic journey.

As they travel through space and time, they try to shake off their pursuers by making a series of random landings — but the Daleks don't give up easily. This is a chase to the death...

The Daleks' Masterplan is well under way. With the Time Destroyer, the most deadly machine ever devised, they will conquer the Universe. Only one person stands in their way — the Doctor. For he has stolen the precious Taranium core which is vital to activate the machine.

Travelling through Time and Space, the doctor and his companions are forever on the move in case the Daleks track them down.

But after several months, to their horror, the TARDIS indicates that they are being followed...

Троица магов совершает путешествие на Землю, чтобы выяснить, кто наложил проклятье, медленно убивающее его, на Скора, и снят его. Их дела усложняются, когда Пикселю и Хелэйн приходится столкнуться с главарем банды Тони Карузо, отцом Скора. Влиятельный бизнесмен Тоширо и его дочь, прикованная к инвалидной коляске, похоже, готовы им помочь. Это даже кажется слишком странным... Смогут ли Хелэйн и Пиксель вовремя разыскать амулет, или же ловушка захлопнется в тот момент, когда они будут близки к цели?

Luke Skywalker has always felt a call from space, and eventually learned the ways of the Force and became a Jedi Knight. Now, Luke tells the inside story of his battle with the evil Empire.

SKYWALKER DATA PAD ENTRY

LOCATION: TATOOINE

"In just half a day, my whole world has changed. The farm, my aunt and uncle…. They're gone. Destroyed by the Empire. All my life I've been waiting for something to happen to me. Something important. And now that it has, I'm not sure I know how to handle it."

'Someone is tampering with the fabric of the human cell,' the Doctor said darkly, 'perverting its secrets to his own dark purposes.'

Sarah Jane wants to meet her fellow journalist Rudyard Kipling, and the Doctor sets the co-ordinates for England, Earth, in the Victorian Age. As usual, the TARDIS materializes in not quite the right place, and the time travellers find themselves pursued across Devon moorland by a huge feral hound.
Children have gone missing; at the local boarding school, the young Rudyard Kipling has set up search parties. Lights have been seen beneath the waters of the bay, and fishermen have been pulled from their boats and mutilated. Graves have been robbed of their corpses. Something is going on, and Arthur Conan Doyle, the ship's doctor from a recently berthed arctic whaler, is determined to investigate.
The Doctor and Doyle join forces to uncover a macabre scheme to interfere with human evolution — and both Sarah Jane and Kipling face a terrifying transmogrification.
This adventure takes place between the television stories The Brain of Morbius and The Seeds of Doom.
