The | The [[Dominator]]s, the Masters of the [[Ten Galaxies]], have come to [[Earth]], and brought with them their deadly robotic weapons, the [[Quark]]s! | ||
It's the summer of '[[1969|69]]. Flower power is at its height, and nuclear power is in its infancy. Journalist [[Harold Chorley]] is out of work, and Colonel [[Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart]] is out of sorts. [[Dominex Industries]] are on the up, promising cheap energy for all. But people have started going missing near their plant on [[Dartmoor]]. Coincidence, or are sinister forces at work? | |||
Join Lethbridge-Stewart and uneasy ally Harold Chorley as they delve into the secrets behind Dominex, and uncover a plan that could bring about the end of the world. | Join Lethbridge-Stewart and uneasy ally Harold Chorley as they delve into the secrets behind Dominex, and uncover a plan that could bring about the end of the world. | ||
