against the Sontarans and the Daleks.

The Five Companions
(Eddie Robson) |
|
Inside
a cluster of fused-together derelict spaceships,
four of the Doctor's oldest friends - and one of
his newest ones - are lost and confused. They don't
know how they got there or what they're meant to
be doing – but as the place is infested with
Daleks, Sontarans and dinosaurs, their first priority
is staying alive.
To their
collective relief, the Doctor turns up and has a reasonable
idea of what's going on. If the six of them work together,
they can escape this place and get home. But, unexpectedly,
others may be working together to ensure they all die here... |
