The Crusade
Book

Back on Earth again Tardis lands DOCTOR WHO and his friends into the midst of the harsh, cruel world of the twelfth-century Crusades. Soon the adventurers are embroiled in the conflict between Richard the Lionheart and the Sultan Saladin, ruler of the warlike Saracens ... 

"They're well written books - adventure storie, of course, but with some thought ... the creation of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it."

Within minutes of the TARDIS's arrival on twelfth-century Earth, the Doctor and his companions are in serious trouble. 

They happen to intercept a Saracen attack on Richard the Lionheart, thereby enabling the English King to escaoe otherwise certain capture. 

But Barbara is kidnapped and carried off by the Saracens to the Sultan Saladin's court. 

Saladin spares her life - on the condition she entertains his court by telling stories. And, like Scheherazade, if she fails, then she must die ...
