THE CONTAINMENT TEAM UNIT’s way of dealing with its own mistakes. Its brief: to stop the contamination of Earth by any means necessary.


When a shipment of lifeless Autons is hijacked en-route to a secret research facility, Lockwood, head of UNIT’s Containment Team, suspects the Nestene Consciousness is responsible.

His fears are realised as he finds himself drawn to Sentinel Island, where the population has become embroiled in a frenzy of bizarre religious practices.

With time running out, hostile islanders, and an army of now deadly Autons to face, how can he possibly stop the Nestene from invading Earth.... especially when UNIT itself suspects he is a Nestene pawn?
