After years of peace, their spaceships are now being mysteriously attacked and cargoes rifled. Each suspects the other and fullscale war seems unavoidable.The Doctor, accused of being a Draconian spy, is thrown into prison. And only when the Master appears on the scene do things really begin to move Geoffrey Beevers, who played an incarnation of the Master in the classic BBC TV Doctor Who series, reads Malcolm Hulkes complete and unabridged novelization, based on the TV adventure Frontier in Space and first published by Target Books in 1976.
