Cover blurb:
THE ADVENTURES OF K9
No. 2

Outside, the space ship was surrounded by hordes of evil beasts — a mass of fangs, jaws and lashing tails. The shadowy monsters loom over the ship, attacking from all sides. Sounds of panic and screaming ring out everywhere. Only K9 keeps his usual calm.

K9, the amazing robot dog already known to millions through his star appearances in the Doctor Who T.V. series, now features in an exciting set of books of his own. The other K9 books available include:

K9 AND THE ZETA RESCUE
K9 AND THE TIME TRAP
K9 AND THE MISSING PLANET
