具体描述

Four new chapters in the Gallifrey saga. The Time Lords and the Daleks have opposed one another across millennia. But now, their conflict tips into an all - out Time War, and nowhere across the universe of spacetime is safe. Battle plans will be drawn, allies recruited, and innocents caught in the crossfire. Gallifrey is going to war, and the cosmos will never be the same again.

1. Celestial Intervention by David Llewellyn. The Temporal Powers are under threat. It is only a matter of time before the Daleks attack. Now CIA Coordinator, Romana must protect the interests of Gallifrey, while dealing with demands from President Livia and an increasingly powerful War Council. As allies are whittled away, the Time Lords are drawn into a conflict they can no longer avoid.

2. Soldier Obscura by Tim Foley. Braxiatel has always planned for contingencies. As hostilities escalate, he takes Ace into a deadly region of spacetime - The Obscura - to locate an ancient research station. But Ace is about to learn more about Irving Braxiatel than anyone should know. Some soldiers are ready for this fight, but some will not make it through the first round.

3. The Devil You Know by Scott Handcock. The Time War has begun in earnest, and Romana must think the unthinkable. For a most dangerous mission, she selects the most dangerous warrior - the Master. But he will not be alone. Leela accompanies her old enemy as they begin an unusual interrogation. What does Finnian Valentine know? And can Leela and the Master ever truly be on the same side?

4. Desperate Measures by Matt Fitton. he Dalek Emperor attacks a vital Time Lord outpost. Victory would be a devastating blow to Gallifrey. Romana is caught in the machinations of a President who sees control slipping away. Is it time to bargain with the War Council, or perhaps to parlay with even more dangerous parties? The Time War has barely begun, and for Gallifrey, desperate times are already here.

The ninth series of Big Finish's hugely popular spin-off from the main Doctor Who range is set on the Doctor's homeworld Gallifrey This is the first of the Gallifrey stories to directly deal with The Time War - the horrific and universe-wide battle between Daleks and Time Lords with everything at stake! Louise Jameson and Lalla Ward played the Doctor's companions Leela and Romana respectively opposite Tom Baker in the late 1970s. They've since reprised their much-loved characters for Big Finish across a wide number of stories.

用户评价

这本小说简直是史诗级的体验，从翻开第一页起，我就被深深地吸引住了，仿佛真的置身于那个宏大而又充满未知的宇宙之中。作者的笔触细腻入微，对人物内心的刻画极其到位，你能够清晰地感受到他们在面对巨大压力和道德困境时的挣扎与抉择。情节的推进如同精密仪器般运转，每一个转折都出人意料却又在情理之中，让人忍不住一口气读完。特别是关于权力、牺牲与时间本质的探讨，更是引发了我深思。这本书没有给出简单的答案，而是将复杂的问题抛给读者，让每个人都能从中找到属于自己的解读。我已经很久没有读到如此有深度和广度的作品了，它不仅仅是一个科幻故事，更像是一部关于存在意义的哲学寓言。光是书中构建的世界观和那些独创的设定，就足以让人惊叹不已，显示出作者深厚的想象力和扎实的研究基础。读完之后，那种回味无穷的感觉，真的非常难得。

我通常对硬科幻类的小说不太感冒，总觉得科学理论的部分会冲淡故事性，但这本书彻底颠覆了我的看法。它在保持高度的科学严谨性的同时，却成功地讲述了一个关于人性、关于爱与失去的普世故事。书中对不同文明冲突的描写，不仅仅是技术层面的较量，更多的是价值观和生存哲学的碰撞，这种深层次的冲突才是真正引人入胜的地方。我特别欣赏作者在处理矛盾冲突时所展现出的那种冷静和客观，没有简单地将任何一方塑造成绝对的恶人或英雄，而是展现了在极端环境下，任何生命体为了延续所能做出的复杂选择。这使得整个故事的张力更加真实可信，也让读者在评价是非对错时，不得不更加审慎。这本书的格局非常大，仿佛触及到了宇宙的边界，读完之后有一种渺小而又充实的复杂情绪。

如果要用一个词来形容阅读这本书的感受，那一定是“震撼”。作者构建了一个逻辑自洽、细节丰满的平行宇宙，其复杂程度和精细度令人咋舌。我花了相当大的精力去理解其中的一些时间线理论和维度概念，虽然偶尔需要回翻查阅，但这种主动学习的过程本身就是一种乐趣。这本书的结构非常巧妙，采用了多线叙事和时间交叉的叙事手法，但作者的功力深厚，使得这些复杂的线索非但没有造成混乱，反而像多条河流最终汇入同一片海洋，让故事的终局充满了史诗般的宿命感。人物之间的情感纠葛也处理得极为细腻，即便是最冷酷的角色，也能从中找到一丝人性的光辉，这种复杂的人性描绘，是很多同类作品难以企及的。总而言之，这是一部需要沉下心来精读的巨著，它所提供的思想回馈远远超出了单纯的娱乐范畴。

老实说，我一开始对这种宏大叙事有些敬而远之，担心会看不懂那些复杂的术语和背景设定，但事实证明我的顾虑是多余的。作者非常巧妙地将那些晦涩的科学概念融入到引人入胜的冒险故事中，叙事节奏把握得极佳，张弛有度。有些章节的对话简直是教科书级别的精彩，那种智慧的碰撞和言语间的交锋，火花四溅，让人拍案叫绝。更值得称赞的是，即便是那些配角，也都有着鲜明的个性和完整的弧光，他们的命运交织在一起，构成了一张巨大而又充满张力的情感网络。我尤其喜欢其中关于“记忆”和“宿命”的探讨，那种宿命论与自由意志之间的拉扯，写得非常到位，让人读完后会对自己的生活产生新的感悟。这本书的阅读体验是沉浸式的，我感觉自己完全被作者拉进了那个时空之中，跟着主角们一同经历了他们的辉煌与落幕。

这本书的语言风格简直是华丽到令人窒息，仿佛每一句话都经过了精心的打磨和雕琢。它不是那种平铺直叙的叙述方式，而是充满了大量的意象和隐喻，需要读者带着十二分的专注去细细品味。我个人非常享受这种挑战，每次都能从那些看似寻常的描述中解读出更深层的含义。作者在描绘那些恢弘的场景时，那种画面感是极其强烈的，仿佛是用电影的镜头在构思文字，光影、色彩、动态的结合都处理得近乎完美。当然，对于追求快节奏、简单情节的读者来说，这本书或许会显得有些“慢热”，需要耐心去铺垫。但请相信我，一旦你适应了这种节奏，你就会发现所有的等待都是值得的，因为最终呈现出的景象是如此震撼人心，那种情感的累积和爆发力是无与伦比的。这绝对是一部需要反复阅读才能体会其精妙之处的杰作。
