On the Back Cover:
 The
Doctor, Fitz and Compassion arrive on the planet Eskon -- a strange world of
ice and fire. Far beneath the planet's burning surface are vast lakes frozen
solid by the glacial subterranean temperature.
But the
civilised community that relies on the ice reservoirs for its survival has more
to worry about than a shortage of water. The hideous slimers -- degenerate
mutations in the population -- are growing more hostile by the moment, and
their fanatical leader will stop at nothing to exact revenge against those in
authority. But what connects the slimers to the unknown horror that lurks deep
beneath the ice? And what is the terrible truth that the city leaders will do
anything to conceal?
To unearth the ugliest secrets of Eskon, the
TARDIS crew becomes involved in a desperate conflict. While Fitz is embroiled
in the deadly plans of the slimers, The Doctor and Compassion must lead a
danger-fraught subterranean expedition to prevent a disaster that could destroy
the very essence of Eskon... its cold heart. |
