In need of Zeiton-7 to repair the TARDIS, the Doctor and Peri travel to the planet Varos. A former prison for the criminally insane, Varos is now ruled by the descendents of the guards. The population is kept in check and entertained by broadcasts of torture and execution from the Punishment Dome – where the TARDIS lands.

Soon the Doctor and Peri, together with rebel fugitives Jondar and Areta, find themselves trying to escape the Dome’s traps and challenges – all on live television.

Can the Doctor and Peri escape the Punishment Dome, and help the Governor ensure the people of Varos get a fair deal for their Zeiton-7?

This novel is based on a Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from 19–26 January 1975.

Featuring the Sixth Doctor as played by Colin Baker with his companion Peri

    I agree with Mad Psientist & Peter Oliver Williams comments about the artwork of the Doctors.

    I love Achilleos’ art style, but he does seem to be struggling with the likenesses of the later Doctors in this range. I remember an interview with him in DWM where he admitted getting a handle on Davison was difficult, but I’d have thought he’d have an easier job capturing Colin and Sylv’s idiosyncrasies. On the other hand, that’s a bang – on portrait of Jean Marsh on the “Battlefield” cover.

    While I like the idea of the Target reprints and have collected all the ones available so far, I have to admit I am terribly disappointed in the artwork for this cover and the 5th and 7th Doctor covers. The pictures look nothing like the Doctors (McCoy is passable but Baker and Davison are way off. I can’t believe the actors have approved these images.)
