Doctor Who: Terminus

5th Doctor Novelisation

Summary

Steven Pacey reads this suspenseful novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fifth Doctor. When the TARDIS is sabotaged and becomes dimensionally unstable, its internal fabric begins to dissolve, and Nyssa is drawn into a junction with a strangely deserted spacecraft.

The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough follow in pursuit, and discover the shocking purpose of Terminus. The Doctor forms an uneasy alliance with two space pirates, whilst Tegan and Turlough become frighteningly enmeshed in the spaceship's infrastructure.

For Nyssa, meanwhile, the nature of a sudden illness which engulfs her will have life changing consequences.

Steven Pacey reads Stephen Gallagher's novelisation of his 1983 TV serial featuring the Fifth Doctor, as played on screen by Peter Davison.
