Resilience. Remembrance. Resolution. Whatever the cost.
She had no name. She had only her mission - she would return Home. And bathe in
the light of a long-dead sun... Even if it meant the sacrifice of this pointless
little moon to do it.
The Wheel of Ice: a ring of ice and steel turning around a moon of Saturn, home
to a colony mining minerals for a resource-hungry future Earth. A bad place to
grow up.
The Wheel has been plagued by problems. Maybe it's just gremlins, just bad luck.
But what's the truth of the children's stories of 'Blue Dolls' glimpsed aboard
the gigantic facility? And why won't the children go down the warren-like mines?
And then sixteen-year-old Phee Laws, surfing Saturn's rings, saves an enigmatic
blue box from destruction.
Aboard the Wheel, The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find a critical situation - and
three strangers who have just turned up out of nowhere look like prime
candidates to be accused of sabotage ... The Doctor finds himself caught up in a
mystery that goes right back to the creation of the solar system. But it's a
mystery that could have dire repercussions for the people on the Wheel. It's a
mystery that could kill them all.
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Second Doctor, as played by
Patrick Troughton in the legendary, classic series from BBC Television.

Released:
2nd August 2012
The TARDIS materialises in Mexico
during the Aztec civilisation. The Doctor and his companions step outside to
discover they are inside a tomb - the tomb, it turns out, of Yetaxa, once High
Priest of the Aztecs.
Barbara is hailed as Yetaxa's reincarnation by Autloc, High Priest of Knowledge,
and Tlotoxl, High Priest of Sacrifice, when they find her in the precincts of
the tomb wearing the bracelet of the deceased Priest, now revered as a god. And
she takes advantage of her position of unaccustomed power to try and dissuade
the Aztecs from practising human sacrifice...
William Russell, who played the Doctor's companion Ian in the original TV
serial, reads John Lucarotti's complete and unabridged novelisation, first
published by Target Books in 1984.
