Publisher's summary
1988 edition
The TARDIS has stalled in mid-flight, and it is only on the planet Varos that the Sixth Doctor can find his precious Zeiton-7 ore he needs to continue his travels through time and space.
Arriving on the planet, he saves the rebel Jondar from execution, and incurs the wrath of Sil, the sadistic representative of the Galatron Mining Corporation on Varos.
The hunt is on for the Doctor and his rebel friends. And as they are pursued through the corridors of the deadly Punishment Dome, the Doctor discovers that the people of Varos have some very disturbing ideas of entertainment ...

Writing and publishing notes
- Although given the Target library reference number of 106, this title arrived some two years later between numbers 128 and 129.
- Accepting the commision to novelise his own story, its proposed publication date of December 1985 was delayed for two years before finally being delivered and published in July 1987.
- The cover artwork for this title had been ready some two years earlier for the proposed release date. This is why the older neon-tubing logo was used rather than the contemporary Sylvester McCoy era logo.
