Hurtling through a vortex beyond time and space is a police
box that’s not a police box. The TARDIS has carried the
Doctor and his companions, Jamie and Zoe, to all sorts of
places, but now, when they don’t want to go anywhere, the
TARDIS makes a decision for them. Like it or not, they’re
coming in for a landing, who knows where or when…
The Wheel. A ring of ice and metal turning around a moon of
Saturn, home to a mining colony supplying a resource-hungry
Earth. It’s a bad place to live—and a worse place to grow
up.
The colony has been plagued by problems. Maybe it’s only a
run of bad luck, but the equipment failures and thefts of
resources have been increasing. And there are stories among
the children of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the
Wheel. Some of the younger workers are even refusing to go
down into the warren-like mines any more.
And then one of them, surfing Saturn’s rings, saves an
enigmatic blue box from destruction.
Once on the Wheel, the Doctor and his companions face a
critical situation when they become suspected by some as the
source of the ongoing sabotage.
They soon find themselves caught in a mystery that goes all
the way back to the creation of the solar system. A mystery
that could destroy the Wheel—and kill them all...
