One by one, their limbs became diseased—they were

replaced by plastic and steel!

Little by little, their brains tired—computers worked just

as well!

With metal limbs, they had the strength of ten men. They

could live in the airless vacuum of space. They had no

heart, no feelings, no emotions, and only one goal -

power!

In the year 2070, a small blue planet caught their attention.

They would land on its satellite and, from there, attack,

ransack, destroy and finally abandon...

THE SATELLITE WAS THE MOON

THE HELPLESS PLANET—EARTH

THEIR NAMES? THE CYBERMEN!

Can the Doctor defeat an enemy whose threat is almost as

great as that of the mighty Daleks?

Prologue: The Creation of the

Cybermen

Centuries ago by our Earth time, a race of men on the

far-distant planet of Telos sought immortality. They perfected

the art of cybernetics—the reproduction of machine functions

in human beings. As bodies became old and diseased, they

were replaced limb by limb, with plastic and steel.

Finally, even the human circulation and nervous system

were recreated, and brains replaced by computers. The first

cybermen were born.

Their metal limbs gave them the strength of ten men,

and their in-built respiratory system allowed them to live in

the airless vacuum of space. They were immune to cold and

heat, and immensely intelligent and resourceful.

Their main impediment was one that only a flesh and

blood man would have recognised: they had no heart, no

emotions, no feelings. They lived by the inexorable laws of

pure logic. Love, hate, anger, even fear, were eliminated from

their lives when the last flesh was replaced by plastic.

They achieved their immortality at a terrible price. They

became dehumanised monsters. And, like human monsters

down through all the ages of Earth, they became aware of the

lack of love and feeling in their lives and substituted another

goal—power!

Their large, silver bodies became practically

indestructible and their ruthless drive was untempered by any

consideration by basic logic.

If the enemy was more powerful than you, you went

away. If he could be defeated, you killed, imprisoned or

enslaved. You were unswayed by pity or mercy.

By the year 2070, they had become as known and feared

in the galaxies as the Viking raiders of the eighth, ninth and

tenth centuries.

It was in that year that a raiding party from Telos

directed its attention to a small blue planet in a remote solar

system... the Earth.

Every planet, they had learnt, had its vulnerable side.

This one seemed technologically advanced and was well

protected by missile bases which were capable of blowing a

marauding space-craft out of the sky. Finally, they probed out

its achilles heel. In this case, it proved to be a small, lifeless

satellite reflecting the solar sun...

There was even an Earth base there of some kind.

Control of that base, armed with Cybermen weapons, could

lead to control of the Earth.

They had no use for the small blue planet. When they

had finished with it, stripped it of its precious metals,

destroyed any technology that might one day challenge their

own supremacy in space, they would leave it shattered and

lifeless.

The only previous time a Cyberman space ship had

landed on the Earth, it had been humiliatingly defeated. So,

although revenge was not a part of their mental make-up any

more than the other emotions, the Earth people needed to be

taught a lesson. Or they might, one day, challenge the

Cyberman empire.

The Cybermen circled the moon-satellite in search of a

well-hidden landing place. This time they were going to take

no chances. Earth people were too resourceful for that. Their

conquest of the moon would have to be accomplished by

stealth.

Their small fleet of Cyberman space ships landed on the

moon at exactly 4.30 a.m. on October 15th in the year 2070.

Nobody at the nearby lunar base or those manning sky-probes

at watching stations on the blue planet saw them—so effective

were the Cyberman screening devices.

The huge silver monsters that had once been men had

achieved their first objective...
