- Mawdryn and his fellow mutants are cursed. Long ago they stole technology from the Time Lords that allowed them to regenerate their bodies every time they died. Now they are trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth, doomed to fly through the wastes of space until a cure can be found for their condition. But Mawdryn thinks he may have found salvation when the TARDIS appears … Will the Doctor give up his own powers of regeneration to save the mutants? Who is Turlough and what has he got to do with the Black Guardian? And why are there two Brigadiers on Mawdryn’s ship?
