Stories Book Time Trips Salt of the Earth 1 image Overview Characters How to Read Reviews 1 Statistics Quotes Overview Released Thursday, March 6, 2014 Written by Trudi Canavan Pages 80 Time Travel Future Location (Potential Spoilers!) Australia Synopsis The Third Doctor and Jo Grant arrive for a well-deserved holiday of sun and "blokarting" on a salt lake in Australia in 2028. Weird sculptures adorn the landscape — statues carved from the salt. People have been leaving them in the salt lakes for years — but these look different. Grotesque, distorted figures twisted in pain. They don't last long in the rain and the wind, but they're just made of salt... Aren't they?

The threat of the Bad Salt was truly unsettling, especially when Jo was threatened by it. The resolution was a little rushed, but not so much so that it hurt the rest of the story. Also, there was a very good dog! 6-and-7 View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
