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.
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.
