SYNOPSIS

When the TARDIS rematerialises inside a rocket The Doctor and Jamie are alarmed by the presence of a hostile Servo-Robot. They discover that the rocket is drifting in the orbit of a giant space station – the Wheel in Space.

Once inside this magnificent space ship they are bewildered by its complexity and sheer size. The technicians and programmers are highly trained, but who are they working for?

Suspecting the worst, The Doctor is still horrified to find the deadly Cybermen in control. What evil plan are they plotting? Who or what are the Cybermats? Can The Doctor trust anyone on board to help him stop the Wheel as it spins relentlessly through space?

  • Back Pages include The 1988 Doctor Who 25 Year Bonanza Competition!
  • The cover of the original Target Books edition featured the artwork of Ian Burgess.
  • With only 23, 000 copies printed, the paperback is considered one of the rarer Doctor Who novels. Reportedly a warehouse fire was responsible for there being so few copies. As a result, copies of this book often fetch high prices as collectables.
