Publisher's summary
1986 edition
Landing on a distant planet, the First Doctor confidently announces to his companions that the TARDIS has brought them to an age of great advancement, peace and prosperity.
The Doctor’s calculations seem to be confirmed when the travellers are greeted by Jano and the Elders who take them on a tour of their city - a haven of beauty, harmony and friendship, set in a wilderness inhabited by tribes of savages.
But the security of the city is founded on one deadly and appalling secret. Soon the Doctor and his friends discover that it is not only outside the city walls that savages dwell…

Writing and publishing notes
- Doctor Who Poster Offer features at back without the colour pictures!
- The cover for the original Target Books edition features the artwork of David McAllister.
- The First Doctor appears on the cover of the original edition. This was unusual as at the time Target was generally no longer including the image of the Doctor on its novelisation covers; the last time was with Enlightenment in 1984. It wouldn't happen again until a year later with The Ambassadors of Death.
