The Sea Devils
by Malcolm Hulke
'We have other colonists hidden around the world. We shal be the
victors in the war against mankind!'
The Doctor and Jo Grant visit their old enemy the Master, who is the
sole inmate of a top-security prison on a remote island off the south coast
of England. Local shipping has been plagued by a series of tragic accidents
and several ships have been lost. Joining forces withCaptain Hart of the
HMS Seaspite naval base, the Doctor learns that there have been garbles
reports of sea monsters. Colonel Trenchard, Govenor of the Master's prison,
believes that the ships are being attacked by enemy spies. The Master himself
seems to be a reformed man andclaims to have turned away from his life
of crime.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Tha Master has in fact made
contact with the Sea Devils, aquatic cousins of the prehistoric Silurian
race encountered by the Doctor some time ago. Having slept beneath the
sea for milliions of years, the Sea Devils have awoken and intend to reclaim
what they consider to be their planet.
Aided and abetted by the evil Master, who will stop at nothing to take
revenge on those who have imprisoned him, the Sea Devils plan to eliminate
the human race, a species they regard as nothing more than upstart apes...
