Kursaal is an original novel written by Peter Anghelides and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who . It features the Eighth Doctor and Sam.
The word Kursaal means a public hall or room, for the use of visitors at watering places and health resorts in Germany; German kur (from Latin cūra: cure) + saal: hall, room.
Kursaal is a pleasure world, a huge theme park for the Cronus System –or rather it will be if it isn't destroyed during construction. Eco-terrorists want the project halted to preserve vital archaeological sites containing the last remains of the long-dead Jax, an ancient wolf-like race.
