Publisher's summary
The Doctor is enjoying the sun on a holiday island – but things are soon hotter than he bargained for.
The young American Perpugilliam Brown brings to the TARDIS a mysterious object that her archaeologist step-father has found in a sunken wreck. Kamelion, the Doctor’s robot friend of a thousand disguises, reacts to the object totally unexpectedly, with bewildering consequences for the TARDIS crew.
For Kamelion sends the Doctor and his friends to Sarn, a terrifyingly beautiful planet of fire. This strange world provides the key to Turlough’s secret past – and once again the Doctor is pitted against the wily Master.

Writing and publishing notes
- This novelisation restructured the televised version.
- Although number #93 in the Doctor Who library, the book was actually the 92nd to be released; this was because it was swapped in the publication order with the novelisation of The Caves of Androzani late in the day without the numbers being reassigned.
