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.
