While she and her companions battled aliens and travelled across the universe, the Doctor hinted at a host of previous, untold adventures with the great and the good: we discovered she got her sunglasses from Pythagoras (or was it Audrey Hepburn?); lent a mobile phone to Elvis; had an encounter with Amelia Earhart where she discovered that a pencil-thick spider web can stop a plane; had a ''wet weekend'' with Harry Houdini, learning how to escape from chains underwater; and more.

NORTH CHINA BLUES "We will kill every opium dealer in China. We will drive rat bastard opium mafia gangster Chiang Kaishek to the sea. We will kill every opium dealer and burn down every opium den, burn down every poppy field and drive the Kuomintang and the Japanese to the sea. If I don't make it, Nomad, carve my name on a mountain. Tell my people my name is China."

PRAISE FOR MIKE TUCKER "NORTH CHINA BLUES is a classic journey story and a raw, vivid espionage and war novel with a powerful affirmation of justice and love -point-blank, gripping and poignant, a story that we would not know except for Mike Tucker's journey among the farmers and fishermen in North China. The Chinese guerrilla fighters, revolutionaries and spies have their say and could not be more real, convincing and authentic. Lyrical and compelling, reminiscent of THE ODYSSEY, I could not put it down. Bravo, Mike Tucker." Mark Chambers, hunting guide, Northern New Mexico "SPARTACUS DID THE RIGHT THING is one of the novels that has won Mike Tucker's prose just comparison to Ernest Hemingway. Tucker's short, energetic sentences are stripped down and laconic, lending a rhythm and directness to the narrative that immediately recalls Hemingway." Miles Amoore, the African Correspondent, THE SUNDAY TIMES www.amazon.co.uk "If Hemingway were alive, he would be buying drinks for Mike Tucker all night long, for Tucker's vivid, moving first-hand account of a 250 kilometer deep reconnaissance behind Burmese Army lines, THE LONG PATROL, pivots on those quintessentially Hemingwayesque themes of armed men fighting to survive against overwhelming odds, and simply battling against the elements. Outstanding." Jim Algie, Editor, author and journalist. Untamed Travel, Bangkok.

PRAISE FOR MIKE TUCKER "NOMAD is a classic journey story and a magnificent epic -point-blank, gripping and poignant, a story that we would not know except for Mike Tucker's journey among the farmers and fishermen in North China. The Chinese revolutionaries, spies and guerrilla fighters have their say and could not be more real, convincing and authentic. A stunning, riveting novel, NOMAD-I could not put it down.

Alan Travers míří domů z hospody a něco mu hrábne do obličeje – pavučina. Ze stínů se vyvalí cosi obrovského a smrtícího... Kevin Alperton je na cestě do školy, když vtom ho napadne komár. Veliký komár. Věci naberou rychlého spádu. Doktora ale nezaujal ani mrtvý muž zamotaný v obří pavučině, ani zkomolené vzpomínky starého muže. Starosti mu dělají spíš roje zmutovaného hmyzu. Když je vesnice odříznuta od vnějšího světa a s hemžícím se hmyzem začíná jít vážně o krk, je Doktorovi jasné, že tu není v bezpečí nikdo. Ledaže by se mu podařilo rozluštit podivné znaky vyryté v prastarém kamenném kruhu a objasnit záhadu sahající až do druhé světové války.

Mentre gli insetti si fanno sempre più minacciosi, il Dottore si rende conto che se non riuscirà a decifrare gli strani simboli incisi su un antico circolo di pietre e a svelare un mistero risalente alla Seconda guerra mondiale, nessuno sarà più al sicuro. Un racconto originale con il dodicesimo Dottore e Clara, interpretati da Peter Capaldi e Jenna Coleman.
