Synopsis
A Great Darkness is
spreading over E-Space. Entropy increases. In search of a last exit
to anywhere, the TARDIS arrives on the power-less planet of
Apollyon, where the scientist Pallister guards the only way out – a
mysterious portal. But the portal needs power to open, and the only
power Pallister can draw on is the energy contained within the
molecular bonds of all living tissue...
The Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough soon learn that neither
Pallister nor his ally, the space pirate Captain Branarack, will
stop at murder to ensure their escape. But they're not the only
menace on Apollyon. The Sandmen are coming – creatures that live on
the life force; that live on death.
Death is the only way out into N-Space. Death, or sacrifice.
But whose death?
Whose sacrifice?
