Book Description
From the unique mind of Douglas Adams, legendary author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, comes Shada, a story scripted for the television series Doctor Who but never produced—and now transformed into an original novel. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Imagine how dangerous a LOT of knowledge is... The Doctor’s old friend and fellow Time Lord, Professor Chronotis, has retired to Cambridge University, where among the other doddering old professors nobody will notice if he lives for centuries. He took with him a few little souvenirs—harmless things really. But among them, carelessly, he took The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey. Even more carelessly, he has loaned this immensely powerful book to clueless graduate student Chris Parsons, who intends to use it to impress girls. The Worshipful and Ancient Law is among the most dangerous artifacts in the universe; it cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. The hands of the sinister Skagra are unquestionably the wrongest ones possible. Skagra is a sadist and an egomaniac bent on universal domination. Having misguessed the state of fashion on Earth, he also wears terrible platform shoes. He is on his way to Cambridge. He wants the book. And he wants the Doctor...

If you could speak to the dead, anyone at all, who would it be? When Jeni asked this question, Shada Emery figured it was a joke. So both she and Willow joined in the fun, naming their favorite dead celebrities. And then there was Ember Cole. Ember wants one more talk with her Grandpa Normie, whose death a year ago began a year of tragedy. So when Jeni suggests a camping trip into the dense woods of northwestern Wisconsin to hold a seance, Shada and Willow put off their misgivings and agree for the sake of their friend.

Book Description
Erotic Thriller. Shada’s life takes an unusual path, as a woman educated at Johns Hopkins Medical School, and eventually trained by Al Qaida to be an assassin. She successfully conducts missions in the Middle East ‘neutralizing the enemy’ until she’s captured by ‘The Company.’ She may well have been neutralized herself, if the mercenary Frank (from Dorsey’s novel, Mercenaries I) hadn’t saved her life. He returns her to a compound in Panama where her experience taking out the enemy makes her a candidate for hire. Following twelve weeks of training, she spends several years as an assassin, and becomes a valued asset. However, apart from her unique profession, Shada’s personal life is quite spicy. By her own admission, she’s oversexed, hedonistic and satisfies that craving at every turn. When, in time, she wants to retire, Shada plans her escape from the mercenary life, with an elaborate scheme to neutralize the Egyptian slave trader, who held her captive and used her as his sex slave. She’s vowed to neutralize him once the opportunity arises. When the time comes, she executes her ‘foolproof’ scheme with ease, except for one critical error. The slave trader’s daughter Nefertiabet is convinced that her father was murdered by the woman he once abused. When Shada learns that her enemy’s daughter wasn’t fooled by her staged death, she’s determined to neutralize Nefertiabet in a mission that will be her last!
