Cover blurb: In the snowy wastes of blizzard-swept Antarctica, a strange pod-like object is unearthed, buried deep in the ice. Curiosity turns to alarm as the pod begins to grow — then horror when suddenly it cracks open and a snaking green tendril shoots out, mercilessly seeking the nearest live victim... In London, the botanical experts are bewildered. Doctor Who is called in to fight this unknown horror. But will he be in time to save Earth from the rapidly spreading tentacles of the Krynoid, giant man-hunting monster from a world where the plants eat the animals?

Then, one of the pods is destroyed, and the second is stolen... The pod is an alien Krynoid — hostile to all animal life — including man. Only Doctor Who is able to stop its spreading tentacles of destruction. But will he be in time to save mankind? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
