Doctor Who_ Byzantium! - Keith Topping [116]
All quotations from The Gospel According to St. Mark are taken from the Authorised King James Version (first published 1611), which may not be the most accurately translated Bible ever printed (that’s kind of the whole point), but it is the one that most readers will be familiar with and it’s certainly one that anyone with an interest in the language of Shakespeare and Marlowe should read at least once in their lives.

About the Author
Dandy highwayman, bon vivant, raconteur and dotcom-pauper, Keith Topping continues his ill-starred love affair with Tyneside by continuing to live there when he should have escaped years ago. His life often resembles scenes from Get Carter... and that’s on a good day. Nasty geographical considerations conspire to keep him and his very understanding girlfriend, Suzie, on separate continents. Sad, but true.
Sadly, everything that Keith likes in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening. And his personal motto is, ‘Why be difficult when, with a bit of effort, you can be bloody impossible?’
Since his last novel, The King of Terror, Keith has written several programme guides for Virgin on TV series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (including the best-selling French title Tueuse de V ampires), Angel and a forthcoming volume on Roswel Hi gh. He was also a contributor to the BBC
television series I♥ the 70s, albeit wearing a particularly nasty green shirt, for which he wholeheartedly apologises to viewers. He continues to hold down a part-time clay job while bemoaning the fact that there are only twenty-four hours in a day and sleep takes up at least six of them. Occasionally more.
Byzantium! is Keith’s fourth novel and his sixteenth book.
