Publisher's Cover Blurb
Whilst visiting the Master, who has been exiled to a luxurious castle prison on a small island, Doctor Who and Jo Grant learn that a number of ships have vanished in the area. Whilst investigating these mysterious disappearances, Jo and the Doctor are attacked by a Sea-Devil, one of a submarine colony distantly related to the Silurians. Soon they discover that the Sea-Devils plan to conquer the Earth and enslave humanity, aided and abetted by the Master. What can Doctor Who do to stop them?

Deviations from the Televised Story
The Doctor frequently tells Jo that the Sea Devils are related to the Silurians; That they are "just like those cave monsters we met in derbyshire." This adventure happened with Liz Shaw, so how does he expect her to know?
