Doctor Who_ The Algebra of Ice - Lloyd Rose [110]
‘Why do we even need a door?’
‘We don’t. But I wanted a proper set-up.’ The Doctor plucked Ethan’s sleeve and brought him over the threshold. He found himself on a promontory over-looking a cloud-filled valley.
‘Set-up for what?’
Like a conjuror, the Doctor swept his umbrella over the clouds. They fled in mist, and below him Ethan saw a landscape of peaks and valleys, not of earth and rock but of lines and curves, a graphed world of numbers. ‘Follow it.
Wander. Explore. I give it to you.’
‘What is it?’ Ethan whispered, his heart, his real heart, rising. He turned and looked into the alien, sky blue eyes. Fly into them. Fly free. Fly forever.
‘Something no other human being will see for hundreds of years.’ The Doctor clasped Ethan’s shoulder, and his cold little hand felt warm. ‘The proof of the Riemann hypothesis.’
