Publisher's Cover Blurb

1983 edition

When the TARDIS happens to materialise on an alien space craft the commander of the ship, the reptilian Monarch, invites the Doctor and his companions to continue their journey to Earth in his company.

Although Adric finds this proposal extremely attractive, the Doctor has good reason to be suspicious of Monarch's motives…
