Publisher's Cover Blurb

In the dark uncharted depths of the North Sea it has lurked, growing in strength, growing in size, and striking terror into the hearts of mariners down the untold centuries.
Landing near a North Sea gas refinery off the east coast of England, the TARDIS crew are immediately accused of sabotage. Several rig crews have mysteriously vanished, strange pressure build-ups have been detected, and in the refinery’s pipelines the Doctor can hear the steady, rhythmic beat of-what?
Soon the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria will find themselves at the unrelenting mercy of the deadliest and most terrifying foe they have ever encountered…

Author, Writing and Publishing Notes

  • It was felt that Victor Pemberton’s adaptation of his televised story as a novelisation, even though it had a much higher word count, should not be cut down, and was ultimately released as a bumper volume with an increased cover price of £1.95 (UK).
  • Front Cover Flash: A classic adventure of the second Doctor Now a bumper volume!
  • This publication had a higher word and page count than the usual releases and commanded a higher cover price.
  • Dedication: To Letty and Oliver with love.
  • Inside back cover features colour details of Fantastic Doctor Who Poster Offers!
