The Doctor arrives in an underwater base on the planet Flydon Maxima – known
locally as ‘Despair’ because hope is lost for all life there.
The scientific base has for centuries been monitoring the results of planetary
warming – the slow melting of the glaciers at the south pole and subsequent rise
in sea levels. Curiously their most advanced monitoring equipment was created
and donated by Varlos. The Doctor is helped by a little girl called Gisella.
Why did Varlos risk coming here? What has caused the ice to crumble so rapidly
now? Can the Doctor evade the rampaging Dreadbringers, and sort out the
attacking sea monsters? Who is Gisella and will she and the Doctor manage to
escape in the TARDIS?
Don’t miss this thrilling fourth installment of the Darksmith Legacy...

strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept
up in violent events.
Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales
of 'half-made men', who roam the streets at night and steal people away.These
creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their
eyes should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas
'Mahatma' Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours.
What is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in
history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really
come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth?
