Synopsis

The Doctor, Mel and Hebe visit the archipelago world of Veludia, only to discover a planet beset by electromagnetic storms where three survivors traverse the seas in a ramshackle township. These survivors are 'corps' - bodies used as hosts for minds stored in the vessel’s ‘mind-drive’ - and the Doctor, Mel and Hebe are seen as welcome replacements. But there's something lurking in the waters below, something of rage and power that wishes to destroy them all: the Maelstrom!

Previous Story: The Tides of the Moon


Another great story. It's a bit weaker on the character front but it makes up for it by having a really fascinating plot. The idea of a group of people having to alternate in and out of just a few bodies to survive is really interesting. It was a bit difficult to follow who was who at times but nothing too complicated.

Normally I'd talk about what the story did for the characters about now but there really was very little for 6, Hebe, and Mel. Regardless, it was an enjoyable little adventure.
