Publisher's summary
The people of the planet Jaxus are vanishing. When the Doctor and his friends land, Naomi is snatched away by a mysterious fog and taken to a prison run by a very old foe of the Doctor's. The Master is here and he has, as ever, a sinister scheme underway... but neither Naomi nor Harry know who he is... Can the Doctor stop his plans and rescue the prisoners? Or will his companions inadvertently aid his enemy's plans?
Plot
Part one
Instead of setting a course for Earth to return Harry and Naomi, the Doctor pilots the TARDIS elsewhere and finds that they have landed on Jaxus, a largely unremarkable planet. The trio agree to help Cahlo find her father, Padro, the latest of a number of people who have vanished before others' eyes after a purple fog falls. When the fog falls again, Naomi disappears and reappears in a pod from which she is led by the zombie-like Padro, who has gone through "rehabilitation", to meet with the governor of the abandoned prison. The Master, acting as governor, is surprised to smell that Naomi is human and has Padro take her to be rehabilitated as he was. Although she briefly manages to escape, she is recaptured and submerged in liquid.
The Doctor, Harry and Cahlo go looking for Naomi, coming across Eosian grass capable of stimulating regeneration, and head towards the prison after spotting a light there. Harry too is taken by the fog on the way and the Master manipulates him by claiming to be stranded from the rest of the Time Lords and confirms his suspicion that Harry and Naomi, whom he claims not to have countered, arrived with the Doctor. Meanwhile, Naomi manages to escape the rehabilitation process using her Swiss Army knife and the Doctor, suspecting that people are being teleported away thanks to invisible transfield traps, is attacked by the sentient grass, as is Cahlo.
