Doctor Who and Amy have signed up for the grand finals of the hotly contested Arrow of Law, but the battle for this fabled prize is only one of the adrenaline-raising challenges that they face in this new novel by sci-fi pioneer Michael Moorcock. Even getting to the competition is dangerous: The venue is Miggea, a world quivering at the very edge of time-space continuums. With reality collapsing around them, engulfing hapless entries, the Doctor and his companion must cope with problems even more frightening than free-floating pirates. Once landed, they learn that some rivals for the Arrow refuse to play by any rules. Classic sci-fi by one of the legendary masters of the craft.
