Publisher's summary
Space Security agents Anya Kingdom and Mark Seven answer a distress call – and find River Song, ruling a city of Mechonoids.
But another shock awaits beneath this planet's icy surface. The Mechonoids have been upgraded and are about to be unleashed upon the galaxy!
Plot
Returning to Earth with a month of leave, Anya is prepared to relax and hike the Great Lakes whilst Mark Seven returns to the SSS, but they receive a distress call from River on the ice planet Gelidius and are bound by law to investigate. They find an empty crashed spaceship and follow the signal to an apparently brand new city on stilts which appears to be deserted until they encounter a Mechonoid. At Anya's request, the Mechonoid takes them to their leader: River, who has been fed and waited upon by the Mechonoids since she crash-landed on the planet thirty-one days prior. Anya and Mark take her to their ship to return to Earth, but they find that the mercury core is missing and go to collect the one from River's ship.
