From deep within the world of Doctor Who comes this revealing history of the planet Gallifrey, its notable figures, and the Last Great Time War. The planet Gallifrey was the birthplace of one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations in the universe: The Time Lords. From their technologies and strategies to the renegades like the Master and the Doctor himself, Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time Lords is the definitive guide to their shrouded and often contradictory history. They invented black holes, transmits, stellar manipulators—and then they atrophied. A bunch of elderly academics in funny hats, the Time Lords watched the whole history of creation. This was the civilization that inflicted some of its most renowned and deadly renegades and criminals on the universe: the Master, the Rani, the Monk, the War Chief, yet it was also the benevolent power that rid the cosmos of the Great Vampires, the Racnoss and the Fendahl. Featuring full-color, never-before-seen illustrations, this is an in-world companion no Whovian can be without.
