[Doctor Who · Target-Library 63] • The Terror of the Autons

Novelization of the _Doctor Who_ TV episodes/story of the same name.

The Earth is in terrible danger! The Master has arrived with an evil scheme to

destroy humanity and silence the Doctor forever. His plan? To awaken the

awesome power of the Nestene - a ruthlessly aggressive alien life form. With

their control over all types of plastic, they form into faceless automatons, a

willing army of destruction easily controlled by the evil Time Lord himself.

This is the terrible threat now facing Earth - the terror of the Autons.

Aided by the Brigadier and his enthusiastic new assistant, Jo Grant, only the

Doctor can combat their evil power, but this is easier said than done when

every plastic doll, phone flex, or chair can be turned against him. First,

however, he must defeat the Master.
