Doctor Who: Kinda

The Doctor and his friends materialize in the jungle paradise of the planet Deva Loka — but soon discover things are far from what they seem.

Members of an Earth Survey team are disappearing one by one. Those that are left suspect the Kinda, a peaceful native tribe. But the Doctor suspects a far more deadly influence is at work...

Tegan, the Doctor’s companion, is taken over by a sinister force known as the Mara that seeks to plunge Deva Loka into destruction and chaos — a particularly nasty snake in this garden of Eden...

Peter Davison — the fifth Doctor — reads this abridged version of the novel by Terrance Dicks.
