Cover blurb:
The face came away like a mask. Underneath they could see green scaly skin... The features of a lizard.

The Leisure Hive on the planet Argolis is an entertainment centre for galactic travellers. At the heart of the Hive is the Tachyon Recreation Generator, a machine vital to the continued existence of the Argolin after their devastating war with the reptilian Foamasi. When the Doctor and Romana arrive, they soon find themselves embroiled in murder and intrigue — and on trial for their lives.

This is an adaptation by David Fisher of his own original screenplay, which featured Tom Baker in the role of the Doctor.
