Summary

An unabridged reading of this exciting novelisation of a First Doctor television adventure.

Accompanying the humans on their journey are the Monoids, strange reptilian creatures from an alien world.

It is an accident which will have a terrible effect on mankind, an effect which will last for seven hundred years...
