The Daleks are advancing,
their empire constantly expanding in to Earth’s space. The Earth forces are
resisting the Daleks in every way they can. But the battles rage on across
countless solar systems. And now the future of our galaxy hangs in the balance…
The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the frontline with a
group of ruthless bounty hunters. Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek
they kill, every eye stalk they bring back as proof.
With the Doctor’s help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek
prisoner – intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation. But where the Daleks
are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the
tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a
prisoner of the Daleks?

1500BC – King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods
who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor,
visiting with university student June, knows they’re not gods at all. They’re
aliens.
For the aliens, it’s the perfect holiday – they get to tour the sights of a
primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial games,
or hunting down and killing humans who won’t be missed.
With June’s enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind
this deadly package holiday company – his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he
bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how
are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what’s
left of the Parthenon?
