Doctor Who: Excelis Rising (#02)

Excelis Rising
From The Back Cover...

A thousand years after his first visit to the planet Artaris, the Doctor returns. The City of Excelis has grown, spreading a vast Empire throughout the globe. Science and engineering have provided a new Age of Reason.

But the more things change, the more they stay the same, and once again death follows the mysterious Relic through the halls of the Imperial Museum.

When the Doctor finds himself helping the Curator and the local authorities with this mystery, he finds himself crossing paths with a familiar face from Excelis' history - but no-one lives for a thousand years, do they?

Memorable Quotes

The Curator: 'I suppose it could be a new delivery, an example of Calanite civilisation - while they've still got one...'

Inquisitor Danby: 'I suppose if you were lying, you'd tell a better tale!'

The Doctor: 'It can't be him! Not after a thousand years...'

Reeve Maupassant: 'I don't resort to torture, because experience has taught me that torturing people like you for what I want to know, doesn't really work.'

Comments
