The TARDIS brings the Doctor and his friends to a space tracking base in the Antarctic - and straight into trouble! A space mission is going badly wrong, and a new planet has appeared in the sky. Mondas, ancient fabled twin planet of Earth, has returned! But, once the inhabitants used to be just like the humans of Earth, they're very different now. Devoid of emotions, their bodies replaced with plastic and steel, the Cybermen are here! Humanity needs all the help it can get, but the one man who seems to know what's going on is terminally ill. As the Cybermen take over, the Doctor is dying... Featuring the First Doctor in his very last adventure as played by William Hartnell, and his companions Ben and Polly, this novel is based on a Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from October 8-29, 1966.

Zeus Four, Zeus.
Split this planet of ours right in half. Two or three of them are positioned in strategic points around the globe. We have one, and the means for delivering it – square on Mondas!’ Dr Barclay still seemed unable to grasp the full implications of the General’s decision. ‘You can’t use the Z-Bomb unless you have instructions from Geneva.’ Cutler sneered. ‘Don’t worry, fella – I’ll get instructions, right here and now.’ He walked across to the R/T console. ‘Get me Geneva!’ In the International.
Basis of a Doctor Who story, but this time one he wrote himself in collaboration with Gerry Davis: ‘The Tenth Planet’. Pedler told Davis that as a doctor his greatest phobia was ‘dehumanising medicine’. He foresaw a time when spare-part surgery had reached the stage where it was commonplace, possibly even cosmetic. There would come a point where it was impossible to tell how much of the original human being remained. Such creatures, he reasoned, would be motivated by pure logic coupled with the.

It should be nine hundred and eighty.’ The Australian jumped up and, leaning across his smaller English colleague, tapped the computer read-out key. Again, the figure of nine hundred and eighty miles appeared on the dial. ‘Cripes!’ exclaimed Barclay. ‘You’re right! Nine hundred and eighty miles. Out of position by over one hundred miles.’ He spoke into the mike again: ‘Snowcap to Zeus Four. Do you read.
