Longest Day (Michael
Collier) |
|
On the Back Cover:
Its
surface ravaged by colliding time-fields, the planet Hirath is a patchwork of
habitable areas separated by impenetrable zones of wild temporal fluctuation.
The planet's unique biosphere is being exploited by an
uncaring company happy to rent out temporally isolated chunks of the planet to
the highest bidder - no questions asked. But the controlling computer seems to
be malfunctioning, and the viability of the whole planet hangs in the balance -
along with countless thousands of lives.
Arriving
at Hirath's control base, The Doctor and Sam are soon separated and trapped on
the dying planet. While Sam becomes the focus of attention in a barren penal
settlement, The Doctor discovers the secret of Hirath's unique condition - just
as a race of hideous bloodthirsty alien creatures arrive in force to reclaim
it.
Caught up in a desperate struggle for survival, it seems time
has run out for every living creature on Hirath - not least Sam and The Doctor... |
