Catastrophea
(Terrance
Dicks) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 'Look
at the way they just call themselves the People,' said Jo. 'They're too humble
to give themselves a name!' 'Or too arrogant to think they need one,' said The Doctor.
The planet's real name is Kastopheria, but generally it's
been rechristened Catastrophea - it's a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Supposedly civilised races are exploiting the world, squabbling over its wealth
and resources, while the indigenous population - golden-skinned giants - seem
not to care what their own fate might be. The Doctor and Jo soon become
embroiled in a plan to keep peace between different parties vying for control
over the planet.
But what is the strange glowing crystal lying hidden in
impenetrable jungle? How will the arrival of the proud, warlike Draconians
affect the fragile peace? In his quest to find the truth behind the secret
history of the People, The Doctor risks unleashing a force more terrible than
the galaxy has known for aeons... |
