Publisher's summary

1989 edition

Launched into space 350 years ago, a meteor is returning to Earth – and inside it waits Nemesis, a silver statue made of the living metal validium, the most dangerous substance in the Universe.
Evil powers await the statue’s return: the neo-nazis de Flores and his stormtroopers; Lady Peinforte, who saw Nemesis exiled in 1638 and has propelled herself forward in time; and the advance party of a Cyberman invasion force.
And in the garden of a Windsor pub, the Doctor and Ace are enjoying the timeless sounds of a jazz quartet …
This story celebrates 25 years of Doctor Who on television.

Deviations from televised story

The crash of the Nemesis comet and the battle between the Cybermen and De Flores's men occurs on a housing estate construction site rather than wasteground.

Writing and publishing notes

• The swastika symbol was far more visable in Alister Pearson's original cover design before being scalled down and given less prominance in the final cover.
• Dedication: “For D H F Somerset with all my gratitude”
