Doctor Who is strangely concerned about Professor Horner's plan to cut open an ancient barrow near the peaceful English village of Devil's End; equally worried is Miss Hawthorne, the local white witch, who foretells a terrible disaster if he goes ahead. Determined that the Professor should is Mr Magister, the new vicar (in truth the Master) whose secret ceremonies are designed to conjure up from out of the barrow a horribly powerful being from a far-off planet... The Brigadier and Jo Grant assist Doctor Who in this exciting confrontation with the forces of black magic! Barry Letts, producer of Doctor Who from 1969 to 1974, reads his own complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1974. 'BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers... they benefit from new music and sound effects.' Doctor Who Magazine. 5 CDs. 5 hrs 58 mins.
