== Publisher's summary ==
The TARDIS materialises. Despite console readings to the contrary, the Sixth Doctor and Charley step out, unexpectedly, into an alien jungle, where they find themselves stalked and then ambushed.  They have landed in the middle of one of the Dalek wars, and this time the tactics used by both sides are threatening the very nature of reality.
[[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] makes a return trip to the jungle planet of [[Spiridon]], when the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley]] fall in with a lost platoon of shellshocked [[Thal]] soldiers — victims of a sneak attack by their blood enemies, the [[Dalek]]s.
 
==Cast==
Besieged by deadly flora, surrounded by invisible monsters, and with all hope of rescue gone, the Thals are the victims of a grim experiment in psychological warfare.
 
With the very nature of reality under threat, the Doctor and Charley need each other more than ever. But dark forces are conspiring to tear them apart...

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The TARDIS makes a return trip to the jungle planet of Spiridon, when the Sixth Doctor and Charley fall in with a lost platoon of shellshocked Thal soldiers — victims of a sneak attack by their blood enemies, the Daleks.

Besieged by deadly flora, surrounded by invisible monsters, and with all hope of rescue gone, the Thals are the victims of a grim experiment in psychological warfare.

With the very nature of reality under threat, the Doctor and Charley need each other more than ever. But dark forces are conspiring to tear them apart...
