Cover blurb:
Geoffrey Beevers reads this exciting classic novelisation of a Fourth Doctor TV adventure
“This range of classic audiobooks continues to go from strength to strength..." Doctor Who Magazine
The Doctor, Romana and K9 — and a young stowaway called Adric — are trapped in the alternative universe of E-Space. Seeking help, they land on an unknown planet, and find a nightmare world where oppressed peasants toil for the Lords who live in the Tower. All learning is forbidden; it is a society in a state of decay.
What is the terrifying secret of the Three Who Rule? What monstrous creature stirs beneath the Tower, waking from its thousand-year sleep? The Doctor discovers that the oldest and deadliest enemy of the Time Lords is about to spring into horrifying action.
Geoffrey Beevers, who played the Master in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1982. John Leeson provides the Voice of K9.
