Jon Culshaw reads this thrilling novelisation of a classic TV story for the Fourth Doctor.

Why is the Doctor suddenly summoned to the shores of Loch Ness? Terror and panic spread as the third oil rig is smashed into the sea by a mysterious force...the monster? The controlling power must be the Zygons - alien creatures who have hidden on Earth for thousands of years, and who now feel strong enough to take over the planet. The Doctor, Sarah, Harry and UNIT have different ideas - but can they outwit the supreme cunning of the ruthless Zygons?

Jon Culshaw reads Terrance Dicks's 1976 novelisation of the BBC TV serial Terror of the Zygons by Robert Banks Stewart.

Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by David Darlington. Executive Producer for BBC Audiobooks: Michael Stevens
