The huge, octopus-like Kroll lived deep in

the swamps of the humid, steamy planet.

To the native swamp-warriors, Kroll was

an angry, mythical god. To the money-

grabbing alien technicians, Kroll was a

threat to a profit-making scheme.

In their search for another segment of the

Key to Time, the Doctor and Romana have

to face the suspicion of the Lagoon

dwellers, the stupidity of the technicians

and, finally, the power of Kroll...

THE POWER OF KROLL is a novel in

the Key To Time Sequence. Also available

THE RIBOS OPERATION, THE STONES OF

BLOOD and THE ANDROIDS OF TARA.

Prologue

Deep beneath the waters of the immense lagoon, Kroll

slept.

He lay dormant, as he had lain for hundreds of

years, buried in the thick nutritious sediment that

covered the bottom of the lake.

His feeding tentades radiated out from the great

bulbous body, absorbing nourishment like the

spreading roots of some enormous tree.

The years passed by, and still Kroll slept. His

body-cells mutated, transformed by the strange power-

source he carried deep within him. Kroll grew to

colossal, unimaginable size. Yet still he slept.

Above him, the People of the Lakes paddled

silently through the marshes in their canoes, and

worshipped the image of Kroll in their temples—

though none still living had seen him.

One day great changes came to Kroll’s lagoon.

Men came in rocket ships, and unloaded strange

machines. They built a structure of towering steel on

the very edge of Kroll’s lagoon. Its waters were

disturbed by the sound of their machinery, a thudding

vibration that penetrated even the depths where Kroll

had slept so long.

Kroll woke—and found that he was hungry.

Prompted by some long-dormant instinct, Kroll began

his long slow rise.

There was life on the surface—and to Kroll, all life

was food.
