Doctor Doppelgänger, Evil Vegetation, Shape Shifting Location (Potential Spoilers!) Zolfa-Thura, Tigella Synopsis Zastor, Leader of the planet Tigella, rules a divided people. Savants and Deons are irrevocably opposed on one crucial issue – the Dodecahedron, mysterious source of all their power. To the Savants the Dodecahedron is a miracle of science to be studied, observed and used to benefit Tigellan civilisation. To the Deons it is a god and not to be tampered with.

Meglos impersonating the Doctor remains quite fun, however, the time loop with the Fourth Doctor and Romana goes on for too long, meaning that it takes a while for them to enter the story. Terrance Dick does add more colour to it with his excellent prose though, and Jon Culshaw does a fantastic job at reading. His Fourth Doctor impression is spot-on as usual, and it's lovely to also hear more of John Leeson as K9. Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating196 members 3.19 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
