Summary
Part One
The 26th century... Draconians watch, undecided as to course of action, while three Dalek craft enter their territory in pursuit of another ship. Prince Salander watches as the Dalek craft are destroyed by the stranger in the fourth craft. To shortcut bureaucratic complications, Salander welcomes and befriends the visitor, Abslom Daak, without the permission of the Emperor. Daak is searching for a way to resurrect Taiyin from her cryogenic unit. Salander offers to help, but is accused of treason by fellow Draconian Axiron. Daak and Salander are placed under house arrest, but Salander learns of his son's death by Dalek fire and the Emperor’s refusal to engage in hostility. After they have collected Taiyin’s body, Salander and Daak make their escape in Salander's private spacecraft.
Part Two
Having fled the Draconian Empire in a prototype attack ship, now christened the Kill-Wagon, Abslom Daak and Prince Salander search for a crew. On the decadent and hedonistic planet Paradise they find Harma, an Ice Warrior now employed as a contract killer. Daak overpowers Harma, makes him break his contract and goes with him to the planet Dispater in search of Vol Mercurius.
Part Three
Mercurius, who has one cybernetic hand, plays out a game of parachess with the robot Klikbrain as Kill-Mechs close in on his home and planet. Daak had taken his hand in return for the loss of "his" girl, Selene. Mercurius agrees to go with the others, callously ignoring, as he does so Klikbrain's plea to take him with them offworld.
Part Four
The Kill-Wagon has come to a belt of meteoroids, in actuality disguised Dalek Space-Commando Units. Daak wants to attack at once but Mercurius says to wait twelve hours until the Daleks have to recharge. The ‘'Kill-Wagon'’ crew launch a successful nuclear attack on a Dalek craft based inside a volcano.
