A brand new novelisation from the basic television adventure featuring the Sixth Doctor. The Doctor and Peri land on earth Necros to go to the funerary home Tranquil Repose – where the lifeless are interred and the near-dead placed in suspended animation until such period as their conditions can be cured.

However the Great Healer of Tranquil Repose is far from benign. Under his control, Daleks safeguard the catacombs where sickening tests are carried out on human body. The new existence he offers the dying comes at a terrible price – and the physician and Peri are getting lured right into a trap that will modification them forever.

At last, the only classic-era Doctor Who adventure never to be novelised is here now, and by the author of the initial script, Eric Saward.
