Cover blurb: Military troops mount an armed blockade whilst gunrunners bring in weapons for the sinister, masked renegade, Sharaz Jek. Meanwhile, lethal androids guard the caves, and a deadly creature lurks in the shadows, killing all in its path. At the heart of the conflict is a substance called Spectrox — the most valuable item in the universe... and the deadliest! The very presence of the Doctor and Peri on Androzani sets in motion a chain of events that will have dramatic consequences for everyone involved. As the situation gets even more desperate, the Doctor realises time is running out — both for Peri and himself. Will the Doctor make the ultimate sacrifice to save his young friend’s life...?

Note: Contains an extra not present on the UK or Australian releases — “Who’s Who”, which consists of short text biographies of the main cast. Cover blurb: As they follow a mysterious trail into some nearby caves, they unwittingly violate General Chellak’s military blockade and are summarily sentenced to death as gunrunners. An unexpected rescue by the actual gunrunners throws them into the clutches of the sinister Sharaz Jek, a masked renegade scientist who has gone underground, both figuratively and literally. Jek has amassed a force of lethal androids to guard his subterranean domain. For in the heart of the caves is a rich source of Spectrox — the most valuable commodity in the universe... and in its raw form, the deadliest! Once the Doctor learns that the mysterious substance he and Peri handled in the caves was raw Spectrox, he realizes time is running out — for Peri as well as himself. DVD EXTRAS INCLUDE:

Hunted by both factions and with death just hours away, how far must the Doctor go in order to save his friend’s life? DVD EXTRAS INCLUDE:
