Materialising in outer space, the TARDIS is attacked by a

missile fired from the dark side of the moon.

Back on Earth, the newly-formed United Nations

Intelligence Taskforce, led by Brigadier Lethbridge-

Stewart, is disturbed by a series of UFO sightings over

Southern England.

Meanwhile, a large consignment of mysterious crates is

delivered to the headquarters of International

Electromatix, the largest computer and electronics firm in

the world.

Three seemingly unconnected events—but in reality the

preparations for a massive Cyberman invasion of Earth

with one aim—the total annihilation of the human race.

Prologue

The Doctor sat hunched in his rickety chair, biting his nails

anxiously and staring grimly around him in the crackling air as

everything swam sickeningly back into focus. He uttered a whoop of

relief as his two young friends reappeared, clinging on for dear life to

the wobbling and sparking navigation console in the middle of the

TARDIS control chamber. With a few spasmodic shudders the

ancient machine finally shook itself together and settled, its harsh

groans and staccato wheezes dying gradually away into eerie silence.

Jamie, a robust young Highlander clad in faded kilt and

sporran, tattered sleeveless sheepskin waistcoat and sturdy boots,

turned thankfully to Zoe and grinned shakily. 'We're all right, ma

wee lassie. It worked!' he exclaimed, his voice cracking with nervous

tension.

Zoe attempted a pale smile. She was a bright-eyed teenager

with a large face, wide mouth and short black hair and she was

wearing a tomboyish trouser-suit. She swallowed hard and glanced

inquiringly at the thoughtful Doctor. 'Are we on our way at last?' she

asked hopefully.

The Doctor still sat staring suspiciously at the motionless

control column, his mouth drawn sharply down, his black eyebrows

ruckled and his small hands knotted uncertainly together. 'I suppose

I'd better have a look,' he murmured hesitantly. He looked rather like

an old-fashioned fairground showman as he shuffled over to the

console and fussed with the switches and indicators in his

concertinad check trousers, worn boots and shabby knee-length coat,

tucking the frayed cuffs of his grubby shirt out of the way. He licked

a finger as if for luck and pressed a button, glancing apprehensively

across at a video screen set into the chamber wall.

A large dark globe took shape against a breathtaking

background of brilliant stars. The globe was pitted and scarred and

ringed with a bright iridescent halo.

'The Moon!' cried Zoe in surprise.

Slowly the Doctor leaned forward, as though he suspected

some kind of trick. 'The Solar Corona,' he whispered, adjusting the

focus and throwing the lunar craters into sharp relief round the

Moon's rim. 'We appear to be stranded on the dark side, I'm afraid.'

The Doctor's ominous words caused Zoe and Jamie to

exchange uneasy glances in the tense silence. The disintegration of

the TARDIS in their previous adventure had been a horrifying

experience and now it seemed that the ramshackle police box had

managed to reassemble itself only to end up marooned behind the

Moon.

'What d'ye mean, Doctor... Stuck?' Jamie inquired nervously.

The Doctor was poking about among the racks of printed

circuits inside the hexagonal column. 'I mean stuck,' he replied,

sniffing with embarrassment as he pulled out a suspect panel and

studied it guiltily.

Suddenly Zoe's eyes opened wide. 'What's that?' she cried,

pointing to the screen. A small speck of light had appeared on the

Moon's pockmarked surface. As they watched, it seemed to grow

rapidly larger and brighter.

'Looks like a volcano or something,' Jamie murmured

excitedly.

The Doctor ruffled his mop of thick black hair and blinked

unhappily at the strange phenomenon. 'Not on the Moon, Jamie.'

All of a sudden Zoe grabbed the Doctor's threadbare sleeve.

It's coming towards us!' she gasped.

There was a violent clatter as the delicate circuit panel slipped

out of the Doctor's fingers. 'Don't fluster me, Zoe,' he chided her,

picking it up carefully. 'The orientation circuits are jammed. It may

take a while to fix.'

'But Doctor, we must move out of the way!' Zoe insisted.

'We've only got a few seconds!'

On the screen, the mysterious gleaming object seemed to be

almost upon them.

'It looks like a missile,' Jamie said, gaping in fascination.

'Someone's fired a missile at us!'

'Someone? From the Moon?' snorted the Doctor, peering

intently at the faulty circuits. He flexed the small panel a few times,

traced his finger round its intricate connections and then popped it

back into its slot in the column.

'Please hurry up, Doctor,' pleaded Zoe, hypnotised like Jamie

by the weird glinting craft growing in the centre of the screen.

'Oh, do be quiet,' snapped the Doctor, flicking a series of

switches and glaring irritably at the inert instruments. Once again he

removed the panel and this time held it up to examine its complex

structure against the increasingly brilliant glow from the video

screen. Suddenly he emitted a squawk of terror. Zoe just managed to

catch the panel before it hit the floor a second time.

'What the dickens is that?' croaked the Doctor, gazing open-

mouthed at the looming alien image. The next moment he snatched

the circuit panel from be. 'Don't just stand there gawping, child!' he

shouted, struggling to insert it back into its slot. He kicked the

control column a few times and rummaged his fingers feverishly

among the switches.

Ashen-faced, Jamie clutched Zoe's shoulder convulsively.

'We're too late, lassie, we'll never make it...' he gulped.

The Doctor thumped the console and unleashed a tirade of

insults against his juddering machine as it growled reluctantly back

into operation. Then, like a crazed concert pianist he madly

manipulated the switches and savagely kicked the column while

staring defiantly up at the gigantic threat blotting out the Moon and

the galaxies beyond.

Seconds later there was a colossal explosion. The TARDIS and

its precious contents burst asunder into an infinity of separate

fragments. In the place where it had been, a vast silver craft passed

silently through space, as if it had never existed.
