The Doctor has stumbled on a cunning alien plan to take over the Earth. Will he be in time to defeat the deadly Kraals and their terrifying android invasion? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note: Number 9 in the series of 10 US paperback novelisations published by Pinnacle in 1979-1980 — the others were: 1) Day of the Daleks, 2) The Doomsday Weapon, 3) The Dinosaur Invasion, 4) Genesis of the Daleks, 5) Revenge of the Cybermen, 6) The Loch Ness Monster, 7) The Talons of Weng-Chiang, 8) The Masque of Mandragora and 10) The Seeds of Doom. Each of these US editions were reprinted several times between 1979 and 1989, with the ISBN changing 3 times (the different ISBNs are listed as separate editions below). Cover blurb: Doctor Who, that cocky, crazy, cosmic hobo, and his delightful companion, Sarah, land in the small English village of Devesham. The Tardis has brought them safely home at last. Or has it? At first the picturesque village seems deserted, but then they discover zombie-like inhabitants who won’t answer their questions, and a mysterious soldier who marches over the cliff and reappears without a scratch. And then there are the weird coffin-like meteorites that open up and contain human-like creatures. Have the body snatchers returned? What Doctor Who doesn’t know is that the village is not English at all, nor is it on Earth. It’s a replica on the polluted planet Oseidon, the radiation-infested home of the Kraals. The few surviving Kraals must find a new home fast and are sending androids to Earth to take it over. Will Doctor Who be able to outsmart his own android clone in a face-to-face battle of wits and stop the android invasion of Earth? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Will Doctor Who be able to outsmart his own android clone in a face-to-face battle of wits and stop the android invasion of Earth? Doctor Who is a mysterious, zany, and very mature Time Lord (750 years mature to be exact) who hurtles through space in a stolen Time Machine. Since there’s a problem with the steering, he never lands exactly when or where he plans to. This, along with his desperate desire to bring law and order to the galaxies, and his insatiable curiosity, consistently places him in weird and often wild circumstances. Doctor Who, created for and by the BBC, is one of the longest running and most popular shows in British television history. Now this incredible space fantasy, starring Tom Baker, can be seen on television in major cities throughout the United States via Time-Life Television. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
