Cover blurb:
While the Doctor indulges his wanderlust with a brief trip to Metebilis 3 [sic], the Brigadier and Jo Grant drive to South Wales to investigate the death of a miner at a disused pit owned by the mysterious Global Chemicals. The most astonishing symptom of the miner's fatal disease is that it leaves the skin bright green. The Doctor arrives on the scene and soon suspects that the Global Chemicals factory management may have something to hide. When he and Jo discover a vast green lake teeming with deadly giant maggots hidden in the abandoned mine, he fears the threat may have already reached global proportions.
