With his granddaughter Susan, the Doctor sets them down in a world all but destroyed by atomic warfare, the only survivors being a peace-loving and cultured people called the Thals and their bitter enemies the Daleks, horribly mutated both in mind and body.

Note: Yes, that really is Tom Baker on the cover! White Lion reprinted the 3 original Doctor Who novels in 1975 (the others were The Zarbi and The Crusaders) but chose to use a cover illustration of the then-current Doctor to boost their appeal — although the original internal illustrations (featuring the First Doctor) still remain. Of the three, this book alone appears to exist as two variants, both with the same ISBN: One similar to the other White Lion reprints (full-size hardback with dustjacket) but also a smaller-sized hardback edition with a laminated cover. The smaller size of the laminated hardback meant that David Whitaker’s name was cropped from the front cover. Cover blurb: More adventure stories for young readers from White Lion Publishers Dorothy Clewes THE PURPLE MOUNTAIN Bertram Edwards John Kennett | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
