=== 1989 edition ===

Launched into space 350 years ago, a meteor is returning to [[Earth]] – and inside it waits [[Nemesis]], a silver statue made of the living metal [[validium]], the most dangerous substance in the Universe.<br />

Evil powers await the statue’s return: the neo-nazis [[de Flores]] and his stormtroopers; [[Peinforte|Lady Peinforte]], who saw Nemesis exiled in [[1638]] and has propelled herself forward in time; and the advance party of a [[Cyberman]] invasion force.<br />

And in the garden of a [[Windsor]] pub, [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Ace]] are enjoying the timeless sounds of a [[Courtney Pine|jazz quartet]] …<br />

* The swastika symbol was far more visable in [[Alister Pearson]]'s original cover design before being scalled down and given less prominance in the final cover.
