Publisher's summary
Phaidon was one of the first worlds destroyed in the Time War - but now it is back. Daleks and Time Lords race to the planet’s new location: something has arrived which could turn the course of the war. And for Leela, an even greater shock awaits...
Plot
On orders from Rassilon, the temporal revocation of the Daleks' destruction of Phaidon becomes the War Room's priority as he believes that there was a powerful device aboard a Gallifreyan time skiff which crashed into the planet. Rasmus and Ollistra send the General and, at his request, Leela to get the help of Acting Commander Daari of the Warpwrights in locating and destroying the device to prevent it from being recovered by the Daleks; he agrees and sends Neander to take Leela to the crash site at the Temple of Phaidon, which is now covered by a sentient storm.
