Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in the third of five
thrilling brand new adventures, with Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.
In
the icy wastes of the Murgin Pass, the Doctor and Mike take refuge in a
remote lodge alongside Albert Tiermann, storyteller to the king. But the
owner’s hospitality is repaid with a grisly attack, and suddenly death
is amongst the small party.
What is the significance of a book of fairy
tales, one of which prophesies the Doctor’s encounter with an Ice Queen
monster? What long-held secret is Albert Tiermann holding back? And what
dark figure stalks the snowy mountainside?
The answers to these
questions add up to a terrifying encounter with a strangely familiar
foe.
With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Richard Franklin as Mike Yates, Samuel West as Tiermann, Carole Boyd as Frau Herz, Jan Francis as the Ice Queen, Tom Lawrence as Hans, and Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey, A Shard of Ice is the third of five linked stories written by the acclaimed Paul Magrs.
