The Empire of Glass is a Virgin Missing Adventures original novel written by Andy Lane based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the First Doctor, Steven Taylor, Vicki and Irving Braxiatel. It takes place between the serials The Time Meddler and Galaxy 4, but also immediately after the Time Lords return the Doctor from the events of The Three Doctors.

Like all spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.

[edit] Plot

The Doctor, Steven and Vicki travel to what seems to be Venice in 1609, where they meet a host of historical characters including Galileo Galilei and William Shakespeare. However, with the arrival of Braxiatel and Vicki's kidnapping, the Doctor soon finds himself embroiled in an alien invasion attempt.

[edit] Trivia

In the acknowledgements, Lane notes that this was his own version of Tim Powers' The Stress of Her Regard.
