Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Fear is Humanity's greatest enemy. The Cybermen can free us from it.

The Cybermen... The great civilisation we could have been... if we'd taken another path. A purer path. The Scorpius strategy is now in full operation. There will be victory in Orion...

There is nothing to fear...
