The
Doctor takes Ace back home to
Perivale so she can catch up
with her old friends. But Perivale
has changed, the old gang has
split up, and some of them have
vanished without trace. They
are not the only ones - West
London is plagued by unexplained
disappearances.
Before
long the mysterious kidnappers
make themselves known. A race
of galactic hunters called the
Cheetah people have found a
way to transport themselves
to Earth - and the entire human
race is their prey. They have
been shown the doorway to the
planet by an old foe of the
Doctor, a bitter and desperate
enemy who needs the Doctor's
help to free him from a diabolic
enchantment.
As the
Doctor tries to unravel the
mystery, Ace finds some of her
old friends, trapped on the
savage and beautiful world of
the Cheetah People. But the
only way she can lead them to
safety is to allow herself to
succumb, like so many before
her, to the curse of the planet.
The Doctor realises that Ace's
new powers will provide the
only route home, but it will
mean the sacrifice of her humanity
to the most bestial and dark
side of human nature... |
