Geoffrey Beevers reads the original Target novelisation of this Key to Time adventure for the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K-9.
Chanting, hooded figures gather inside a ring of ancient stones, using rituals of blood sacrifice to awaken the sleeping evil of the Ogri.
Landing on late-20th Century Earth, the Doctor and Romana find science and ancient mysticism in opposition when they meet the eccentric Professor Rumford, her friend Miss Fay, and their mysterious neighbour Leonard De Vries.
Shuttling between coastal countryside and a deep-space cruiser trapped in hyperspace, the duo attempt to track down an alien criminal and unravel the mystery of the stones of blood. Luckily, they have the help of the faithful K-9...
Geoffrey Beevers reads Terrance Dicks's 1980 novelisation of the BBC TV serial by David Fisher, with John Leeson providing the authentic Voice of K-9.
