Past Doctor Adventure written by Chris Boucher © 1998
An original novel featuring the fourth Doctor and Leela
Eager for solitude away from the TARDIS and the endlessly inquisitive
Leela, the Doctor steps out onto a benign-looking planet. But the apparent
tranquillity hides a terrifying secret...
The TARDIS has arrived on a world of violence, where hideous creatures hunt
and kill endlessly, vying for supremacy at the top of the food chain. But is
evolution on the planet natural or engineered by some higher power? And why has
an aggressively suspicious alien police force sent a secret mission here?
With no one safe from the planet's tireless predators, Leela's warrior
instincts are tested to the full. The Doctor, meanwhile, begins to suspect that
there is a scientific purpose to the planet - one married to a sinister
intelligence.
Whatever the data being collated from the planet, the Doctor soon realises
its usage may have far-reaching consequences for all humanity...
