Doctor Who: Loups-Garoux (#20)
By Marc Platt

Loups-Garoux
From The Back Cover...

Germany, 1589: the townspeople of Cologne pronounce a sentence of death on a mass-murderer who has stalked the countryside in the guise of a ferocious wolf.

Russia, 18112: retreating from Napoleon's invading forces, a merchant's daughter is rescued from bandits by a handsome Parisan with a ravenous appetite.

Brazil, 2080: the Doctor and Turlough arrive for the Rio de Janeiro carnival.

Is wealthy heiress Ileana de Santos all that she seems? What sinister ailment afflicts her invalid son, tended by the mysterious Dr Hayashi? And who exactly is Rosa, engaged on a secret quest to fulfil the destiny of her extinct tribe?

Time is running out for Rosa, Ileana and the Doctor, as the fearsome shadow of an ancient werewolf moves ever closer...

The Doctor challenges Stubbe in order to protect Ileana's people, and she accepts him as her champion, declaring that if he proves worthy and faithful, she will take him as her husband too...

With Stubbe gone, Ileana is now free from him. The Doctor says his goodbyes to her, but Turlough cannot see her at all. After they have departed in the TARDIS a single howl rings out....

Memorable Quotes

Pieter Stubbe: 'I stalk the Earth for eternity!'

Rosa Caiman: 'It'll soon be a fat moon again and there'll be nowhere to hide from the future, when the Loups-Garoux come prowling. We have to hunt them, before they hunt us.'

The Doctor: 'When you've studied humans as long as I have, it's hard not to find them quite endearing.'

Ileana de Santos: 'How long have I tried to deny all that darkness?'

Turlough: 'Go on Doctor, get in there!'

Pieter Stubbe: 'What fierce eyes you have.'

Pieter Stubbe: 'Once we have a scent, we never loose it. Don't stray too far from the path because I'll be waiting.'

Turlough: 'It's there behind me. A blood red shadow. Is it my shadow? It has burning, golden eyes.'

The Doctor: 'Discussing money's very vulgar don't you think?'

The Doctor: 'They say I'm a lot younger than I used to be.'

Pieter Stubbe: 'Tear off that pious mask and let's see the dark side of your nature!'

Turlough: 'Is that what the TARDIS runs on, Doctor? Imagination?'

The Doctor: 'I never wanted to stay at home either.'
