== Publisher's summary ==
A modulated frequency wave cancellation signal isn't something that [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] expect to detect in [[1960s]] [[London]]. But then they don't expect to find Professor Lanchester, the man who invented it, lying unconscious. Or [[MI5]] investigating.

But then they don't expect to find Professor [[Mark Lanchester|Lanchester]], the man who invented it, lying unconscious. Or [[MI5]] investigating.


With the help of MI5 Agent [[Barnaby Miller|Miller]], Lanchester's daughter [[Jill Lanchaster|Jill]], and his nephew a pirate radio DJ called [[Mark Lanchaster|Mark]], the Doctor, Romana and [[K9 Mark II|K-9]] investigate. They soon discover that there is more at risk than they imagined, and an alien invasion is about to begin.
