David Troughton reads this exciting novelization of a classic TV adventure for the Second Doctor, as played by Patrick Troughton. In the year 2030, when the world is hit by a series of terrible natural disasters, only one man seems to know what action to take. Salamander's success in handling these monumental problems has brought him enormous power. But what more lies behind his public persona? From the moment the Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria land on an Australian beach, they are caught up in a struggle for world domination--a struggle in which the Doctor's startling resemblance to Salamander plays a vital role. David Troughton, who has played several roles in the TV series, reads Ian Marter's novelisation of the 1967 TV serial by David Whitaker.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you . . . When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under fourteen remain, and they're fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there - alive?
