[Doctor Who 01] • [Past Doctor Adventures 55] • Combat Rock, 2nd Doctor

A Second Doctor novel with Jamie and Victoria. The jungle world of Jenggel is divided. On one side are the primitive Papul people, with a picturesque culture. On the other are the civilised Indoni, out to exploit the Papuls for all they are worth, as a fantastic tourist attraction for off-worlders. As long as the Papuls put on their regular display of primeval ethnicity, things will be all right for them...to an extent. But at the slightest flicker of protest, the guns come out. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive on Jenggel at the height of a period of unrest. The Papul are reverting to their head-hunting ways, and the tourist trade suddenly doesn't seem like such a good idea. At the centre of the disturbance is a mysterious, cruel figure called the Krallik, for whom most Papul would gladly give up their lives. But some question his brutal methods. As the Doctor encourages them to wonder, is freedom to be had at any price? Even that of sanity, or life itself?
