Publisher's summary
The TARDIS materializes on the USS Eldridge, after the Philadelphia Experiment has gone disastrously wrong. Most of the crew are dead, the ship is disintegrating, and the Doctor soon realizes that the problem comes from another dimension…
As they attempt to find a way to get the ship home, the Doctor and Peri visit the distant planet Capron and meet its tyrannical ruler Osloo. But the search for a possible solution only creates increasingly dire problems. Osloo's horizons have been widened – and space and time are hers for the taking…

Notes
- The Macros, originally The Macro Men, was an unproduced story for Doctor Who written by Ingrid Pitt and her husband Tony Rudlin after the former appeared in Warriors of the Deep in 1984.
- The couple first got the idea from reading Charles Berlitz' The Philadelphia Experiment, a story about an experiment conducted by the United States during World War II in the attempts to try and make the USS Eldridge invisible to radar. [source needed]
- After meeting with Eric Saward numerous times, The Macro Men became The Macros and many revisions only resulted in a draft first episode script before all progress was stopped.[source needed]
Continuity
- This story was written by Ingrid Pitt and her husband Tony Rudlin. Ingrid had previously been in Doctor Who twice before in the episodes The Time Monster and Warriors of the Deep.
- The USS Eldridge next appears in VG: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada.
