The aliens turn out to be none other than the Daleks, whose Emperor wants to obtain a Gallifreyan stellar manipulator - known as the Hand of Omega- which was left in the Doctor's care. However, a group of renegade Daleks are also after the Hand, in league with a fascistic human group. Can the Doctor defeat both Dalek armies and prevent the Hand of Omega being misused?

They discover that the city's sewers are populated by Cybermen, intent on changing history by preventing the destruction of their home planet, Mondas (see 'Doctor Who: The Tenth Planet'). It transpires that the distress call which attracted the Doctor's attention was sent by none other than former Dalek ally Commander Lytton, but just whose side is he on this time?

An unabridged reading of a classic novelisation of the 1987 TV adventure featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

Dr Judson is using the ULTIMA code-breaking machine to decipher the runic inscriptions at the nearby church; meanwhile Commander Millington is obsessed with his research into toxic bombs to hasten the end of World War Two. Nearby, an ancient evil stirs beneath the waters at Maidens Point. What connects all of these to a thousand year old curse?

A brand new novelisation of the classic television adventure featuring the Sixth Doctor. The Doctor and Peri land on the planet Necros to visit the funerary home Tranquil Repose - where the dead are interred and the near-dead placed in suspended animation until such time as their conditions can be cured. But the Great Healer of Tranquil Repose is far from benign. Under his command, Daleks guard the catacombs where sickening experiments are conducted on human bodies. The new life he offers the dying comes at a terrible cost - and the Doctor and Peri are being lured into a trap that will change them forever. At last, the only classic-era Doctor Who adventure never to be novelised is here, and by the author of the original script, Eric Saward.
