Martin Jarvis reads this exciting novelisation of the classic TV experience for the 6th Doctor, presenting the slug-like Sil. The TARDIS offers stalled in mid-flight, and it is only on earth Varos that the Doctor can find the precious Zeiton-7 ore he must continue his moves through Time and Space. Arriving on the planet, he will save the rebel Jondar from execution, and incurs the wrath of Sil, the sadistic representative of the Galatron Mining Company on Varos.

The hunt is definitely on for the Doctor and his rebel friends. And because they are pursued through the corridors of the lethal Punishment Dome, the physician discovers which the folks of Varos have some very disturbing suggestions of entertainment…

Martin Jarvis, who performed the Governor in the original TV episodes, reads Philip Martin’s novelisation of his 1985 serial which starred Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor.
