‘Jo peered through the panel and saw – nothing. However someone had inserted the cabin. She could hear hoarse deep breathing and stealthy cushioning footsteps. A beaker increased in the air of its own accord, then lowered to the floor…’ After seeking the Daleks through space, Doctor Who lands on earth of Spiridon, amid a tropical jungle… and discovers a lot more than Daleks. Vicious plant life spitting lethal poison, invisible Spiridons attacking from all edges and, in hiding, a vast military waits… for the moment to mobilise and overcome. Mark Gatiss, who has created and appeared in several Doctor Who episodes, reads Terrance Dicks’ complete and unabridged novelisation, initial published by Target Books in 1976.
