The Edge of Destruction
Book

In a final bid to regain control of the TARDIS's faulty control system, the Doctor is driven to experiment with a dangerous untried combination. 

With a violent explosion the TARDIS blacks out and the crew find themselves trapped inside. 

A simple technical fault? Sabotage? Or something even more sinister? Tension mounts as the Doctor and his companions begin to suspect one another. 

What has happened to the TARDIS? Slowly a terrifying suspicion dawns. Has the TARDIS become the prisoner of some powerful fifth intelligence which is now haunting the time-machines dark and gloomy corridors?
