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

UK and Australian editions[[edit] | [edit source]]

Have you ever longed to climb aboard the TARDIS and enter another dimension? Meet the Doctor and join him in outwitting his enemies? Well, now's your chance! All you need is a pair of dice, a pencil, a little bit of luck and all your wits about you. Ready?

Garth Hadeez, overlord of the grim and gruesome Golons, has released a black hole into the solar system. His plan is to annihilate Earth. Only the Doctor — and you — can save it! Now open the covers and join the Doctor in an adventure through Time and Space...

US edition[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor needs YOU to save the galaxy from the bizarre manipulations of a madman in Crisis in Space.

The Doctor's assistant, Turlough, intercepts a message from Outer Space. Garth Hadeez, the Overlord of the gruesome Golons, has instructed his slaves, the midnight-black Neroids, to release a new planet into the Solar System.

But the planet is a fake. Designed to resemble Phobos, one of Mars's tiny twin satellites, it is actually a Black Hole capable of annihilating the entire Solar System.

YOU will join the Doctor's team in the struggle to save the Cosmos. Important decisions are yours to make as you Find Your Fate.
