Publisher's summary

'Change, Benny. It's the most terrifying thing of all.'
'And that's what's happening to you, is it, Doctor?'
'It's what's happening to all of us.'

The TARDIS has arrived in the Elysium system, lost colony of distant Earth and site of the Artifact: a world turned inside out, a world of horrific secrets.

For more than a century scientists have studied the ecosystem flourishing within the Artifact. Now the system is in collapse and even the humans trapped inside are changing into something new and strange.

With the members of one expedition murdered, those of another fighting for their lives and a solar system on the brink of civil war, can the Doctor, Ace and Benny survive a journey to the heart of the Artifact in their search for the truth?

Characters

  • The Doctor
    • Momentarily begins a regeneration and glimpses his Eighth self.
    • Carries instant soup in his pockets.
    • Gets shot through the heart.
  • Ace
    • Suffers radiation poisoning.
  • Bernice Summerfield
    • Gets a hairline fracture to the skull, requiring the pressure to be relieved...via drilling into the skull.
    • Ace injects Benny with poison to save her from a parasite.

References

  • Some of Bernince Summerfield's early history is revealed:
  • When Benny was young she ran away from her foster parents in a landing boat, which crash landed outside a monastry on Olundrum VII.
  • On a dig on Auriga she fell down a cliff (breaking both her legs in the process) 30 km from the dig site, it took her a month to crawl back to the site.
