Publisher's summary
When a rogue guerrilla faction offer an alien artefact for auction, Kate Stewart and her team go undercover to the jungles of Central America. But they find that the prize on offer is far deadlier than its owners realise. Captive, desperate and alone. That's when a Dalek is at its most dangerous.
Plot
Kate, Osgood, Josh and Shindi prepare to go undercover for a meeting with Captain Maria Gonsalves in Monte Bosque, set up by the now-missing Sam, using false identities put together by Jacqui. The artefact that they are investigating landed on Earth six weeks ago and disappeared off the coast of Brazil before Sam learnt about it whilst looking a group of underground traders who sell alien technology.
Gonsalves feeds nutrient soup to the "parcel" that UNIT are coming to purchase: a damaged and disarmed Dalek whose sale she intends to finance her group's revolution. After bribing the city officials, UNIT travel to the rendezvous point and are taken, blindfolded, into a truck where they are gassed and driven to the camp. Gonsalves has Osgood, Josh and Shindi taken to the bunker to see the Dalek and discusses the transaction with Kate. Osgood scans the Dalek and detects that it is mutating.
