The Pescatons (novelisation)

Novelisation

 * This novelisation is based on the original audio release Doctor Who and the Pescatons. It has the distinction of being the final release by Target Books in the shorter paperback format that had been used since the book series was launched in 1973. It was not, however, the last Target novelization as additional releases would occur in the larger format of the Virgin Missing Adventures line.

Publisher's Cover Blurb
An invasion of meteorites and an environmental crisis! A scientific expedition has disappeared from the bed of the Thames Estuary, where a giant meteorite had landed years previously. Having landed the TARDIS in the same vicinity, the Doctor and Sarah Jane are attacked at night by a vast, roaring creature. Someting reminds the Doctor of his encounter with the marine denizens of the planet Pesca, but before long his worst fears are confirmed: strange meteorites are landing all over the world, and the Pescaton invasion has begun.
