Summary

Geoffrey Beevers reads this exciting novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K-9.

In the great maze of the Powe Complex dwells the dreaded Nimon, a fearsome monster with immense scientific powers.

The Nimon has promised to restore the Skonnan Empire to its former glory. But first it demands sacrifice - youths and maidens from the peaceful planet Aneth.

The TARDIS collides with the spaceship delivering the victims, and the captured Romana is condemned to be sacrificed to the Nimon. Aided by the faithful K-9, the Doctor goes to the rescue. In the heart of the maze he confronts the Nimon and uncovers a terrifying plot to enslave the galaxy.
Geoffrey Beevers, who played the Master in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks's novelisation of the 1979 TV serial by Anthony Read.
