From the back cover:

"Chanting, hooded figures gather inside a ring of ancient stones, using rituals of blood sacrifice to awaken the sleeping evil of the Ogri.

The Doctor and Romana go from the countryside of present day England to a deep-space cruiser trapped in hyperspace in their attempt to track down an alien criminal, and unravel the mystery of the Stones of Blood.

Luckily they have the help of the faithful K9...

'Terrance Dicks is a skilful professional story-teller... He has deftly recaptured the programme's popular blend of hectic menace and humourous self-mockery.' - British Book News"

Andrew Skilleter’s third cover for a novelisation – done in the style of the original Achilleos covers. Skilleter actually disliked these white-background vignettes as he felt they were unhelpful to his style and limited the impact of the cover. The novel, alongside all the other Key to Time novels, was never reprinted with a different cover. A larger version of Skilleter's artwork appears in David J. Howe's book Timeframe (Virgin Publishing Ltd, 1993). The original artwork was offered up for sale in 2001 and is now owned by Matt and Sarah Parish.

This copy bears the monochrome Target logo rather than their original coloured roundels logo.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

On the information table outside Student Services in D Block.

Released for the 2008 Movie/TV/News Release Challenge.

This book was actually released 3 weeks or so ago, not the date that it says it is going to be released. This is the fifth book I've found where the release date is incorrect. Can't work out whether it is the BC site or the PCs at the TAFE where I work that has caused the problem, as they all seem to be ones I've released around the campus and/or used the PCs at the college to do the release notes on the same couple of days.
