Iceworld.
An intergalactic trading post,
ruled by the power-hungry Kane.
Now his dream of total power
is near to realisation with
his acquisation of a band of
mercenaries from the infamous
Glitz in part payment of his
debts. For "Cryosleep"
will render the men utterly
in his power. Meanwhile, Glitz
still owes the balance of the
debt and looks to Iceworld's
mythical dragon and the Dragonfire
- the treasure it reputedly
guards - to solve his problems
at last.
Intrigued
by the legend of the Dragonfire,
the Doctor, Mel and young Earth
girl, Ace, accompany Glitz -
unaware that they are being
followed by Kane's mercenaries.
For the psychotic ruler believes
that with the Dragonfire in
his possession he can avenge
the rulers of his home-planet
who banished his long-dead partner
3,000 years ago.
And
so it seems that beneath Iceworld's
superficial civility lies a
frozen core of corruption and
the Doctor has embarked on something
far more sinister than a mere
treasure hunt... |
