Stepping out of the TARDIS into Victorian London, Leela and the Doctor are faced with menacing, diabolical horrors shrouded inside the swirling London fog – a man’s death weep, an strike by Chinese Tong hatchet men, giant rats roaming the sewers, young women mysteriously disappearing… The hideously deformed Magnus Greel, performing a desperate search for the lost Time Cabinet, may be the instigator of all this wicked. Posing as the Chinese language god, Weng-Chiang, Greel uses the crafty Chang, and the midget manikin, Mr Sin, to accomplish his terrifying goals. The Doctor must use all his skill, energy and cleverness to flee the talons of Weng-Chiang. Christopher Benjamin, who performed Henry Gordon Jago in the original BBC Television serial, reads Terrance Dicks’ total and unabridged novelisation, 1st published by Target Books in 1977.
