Here is an action-packed novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K9. A freak accident locks two ships together in space - and a distress call brings the Doctor, Romana and the faithful K9 onto the scene.

As the Doctor attempts to separate the two spaceships, he and Romana are pulled into a web of intrige involving treacherous drug smugglers, undercover spies, and a savagely dangerous planet called Eden.
