Again the terrifying cry rang out. The Doctor quickened his pace along the gloomy tunnels of the castle. Suddenly from the darkness lumbered the mighty Aggedor, Royal Beast and Protector of the Kingdom of Peladon.

The Doctor fumbled in his pocket. Would the device work? As he trained the spinning mirror on the eyes of Aggedor, the terrible claws came closer and closer ...

What is the secret behind the killings on the Planet of Peladon? Is Aggedor seeking revenge because the King of Peladon wants his kingdom to become a member of the Galactic Federation? Will the Doctor escape the claws of Aggedor and discover the truth?

"THIS IS THE TARDIS," SNAPPED THE DOCTOR, "NOT A NUMBER 88 BUS!"

The Doctor and Jo simply meant to take a little test ride in the TARDIS, to check that it was working. There was a small fault in the Interstitial Beam Synthesizer, perhaps, but nothing that couldn't be fixed ...

But instead the TARDIS takes them to Peladon, a medieval world which is seeking membership of the Galactic Federation. Delegates have gathered on the planet from all over the galaxy, and among them are representatives from Alpha Centauri, from Arcturus and, from Mars, some of the Doctor's oldest and deadliest enemies ...

This is a novelisation by Brian Hayles of his own original television story, which featured Jon Pertwee in the role of the Doctor.
