Setting the controls for Earth, the Doctor is surprised when the TARDIS lands in a primevasl forest. Has the Tracer gone wrong or has some impulse deep in his unconcious mind directed him to this alien planet? In investigating the forest, the Doctor meets and assists Leela, a warrior banished from her tribe, the Sevateem. Through Leela, it gradually becomes apparent that the constanmt war between the Sevateem and the Tesh has been instigated by the god they both worship Xoanon. Xoanon, an all-powerful computer, is possessed by a desperate madness that is directly related to the Doctor, that causes Xoanon to assume the voice and form of the Doctor, a madness that is partly caused by the Doctor and that can only the Doctor himself can rectify! The Doctor must not only do battle with Xoanon, but also must escape
from the savage practices of the Sevateem, and the technically mind-controlling
destructive impulses of the Tesh.
