Maureen O'Brien reads this exciting classic novelisation of a First Doctor TV adventure. Following a skirmish in deep space, two alien spacecraft have crash landed on a barren planet in Galaxy Four.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
When the (first) Doctor, Vicki and Steven Taylor arrive on a seemingly lifeless planet, they are surprised to be taken prisoner by a robot. Stranger things happen when the trio is rescued by a pair of beautiful, if unintelligent female warriors. The women are led by a woman named Maaga who explain that there are two spaceships stranded on this dying planet, and that the others are the ugly and evil Rills. However, things are not always what they appear, and when the Doctor starts to get to the bottom of things, he finds that in this case looks are definitely deceiving. Overall, I found this to be a pretty good Dr. Who story. Admittedly, the moral of the story - good can be ugly and beauty evil - is far from surprising, even a bit hackneyed. But, that said, it is nonetheless an entertaining story, and I loved reading a story the included Vicki and Steven Taylor.
