Books like City of Death by James Goss
When the Doctor, his companion Romana and K‑9 arrive in 1979 Paris for a brief retreat, the city’s timeless beauty is disturbed by a sudden fracture in the fabric of time. As the trio explores, they discover that the city is not merely in a Victorian-era crisis but is a target of an elaborate alien scheme.
A tangled plot unfolds involving homemade time‑machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, and the surprising resurrection of the ferocious Jagaroth—an ancient race destroyed 4 billion BCE. Interwoven with historical flashes back to Leonardo da Vinci’s 1505 studio and a brash encounter with Captain Tancredi, the Doctor must race against time to prevent a catastrophe that could end or irrevocably alter all life on Earth.
