Summary
Part One
The 26th century... Draconians watch, undecided as to course of action, while three Dalek craft enter their territory in pursuit of another ship. Prince Salander watches as the Dalek craft are destroyed by the stranger in the fourth craft. To shortcut bureaucratic complications, Salander greets the fourth craft's pilot Abslom Daak, without the permission of the Emperor. Daak is searching for a way to resurrect Taiyin from her cryogenic unit. Salander offers to help, but is accused of treason by fellow Draconian Axiron. Daak and Salander are placed under house arrest, but Salander learns of his son's death by Dalek fire and the Emperor’s refusal to retaliate. After they have collected Taiyin’s body, Salander and Daak make their escape in Salander's private spacecraft.
