Publisher's summary
Everyone knows that Pluto is a barren airless rock. So naturally the Fourth Doctor is surprised when he discovers artificial suns, an ultra-modern industrial city and a group of colonists being worked – and taxed – to dealt in this inhospitable and supposedly undeveloped part of the universe …
With the help of his companion Leela and the faithful K9, the Doctor takes on the mysterious and powerful Company, ruthless exploiter of planets and their people.

Writing and publishing notes
- Last in the range to have a title prefixed by “Doctor Who and …”
- Although not generally acknowledged as such, this was a rare occasion during the 1980s that the title of a novelisation differed from that of the original series, but barely: the serial spelled Sun Makers as two words, while the novelisation used the single-word form, Sunmakers.
