Summary
About the author

Louise Jameson reads a gripping novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor, as played by Tom Baker.

The TARDIS lands in a primeval forest, and the Doctor meets Leela, a warrior banished from her tribe. He learns that an ongoing war between the Sevateem and the Tesh was instigated by Xoanon, the god they both worship.

In reality an all-powerful computer, Xoanon is possessed by a desperate madness directly related to the Doctor - one which only the Time Lord can rectify!

In order to do battle with Xoanon the Doctor must escape, not only from the savage practices of the Sevateem, but also from the mind-controlling impulses of the Tesh.

Louise Jameson, who played Leela in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks's unabridged novelisation of the 1977 TV serial by Chris Boucher.

"Slick and polished...immersive productions of much-loved novelisations...long may we enjoy them." - Doctor Who Magazine

Terrance Dicks became Script Editor of Doctor Who in 1968, co-writing Patrick Troughton’s classic final serial, The War Games, and editing the show throughout the entire Jon Pertwee era to 1974. He wrote many iconic episodes and serials for the show after, including Tom Baker's first episode as the Fourth Doctor, Robot; Horror at Fang Rock in 1977; State of Decay in 1980; and the 20th anniversary special, The Five Doctors in 1983. Terrance novelised over sixty of the original Doctor Who stories for Target books, including classics like Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen and Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion, inspiring a generation of children to become readers and writers. He died in August 2019, only weeks before the publication of his final Doctor Who short story, ‘Save Yourself’, in The Target Storybook.
