'DESTROY THEM! DESTROY THEM ALL - NOW!' Barclow - an Earth-type planet on the fringes of space at an inestimably distant point in the future. Two factions have laid claim to it: humans from the nearby colony world of Metralubit,and a small group of Chelonian troopers.But in nearly two hundred years of conflict not one shot has been fired in anger,there are regular socials inthe trenches,and the military commanders are the best of friends. The Doctor,Romana and K-9,arriving in the midst of these bizarre hostilities,find there's real trouble to come. A crucial election on Metralubit is looming,and K-9 is forced to begin a new career as a politician.Meanwhile,Romana meets an old friend and the Doctor discovers that a sinister hidden force may be attempting to alter the war's friendly nature.           What are the plans of Galtea,leader of the beautiful but robotic Fendroids? Who is killing soldiers on both sides of the battle lines?      And will K-9's oratory save the day?            Just what is going on? The Missing Adventures series was introduced by Virgin Publishing in July,1994 as the demand for the books showed that new,original novels featuring past Doctors would be as popular as the 'New Adventures' series featuring the 7th Doctor.Thirty-three original novels were produced and this title is the 33rd and last of that series.An original novel featuring the 4th Doctor,Romana and K-9,this book is now out-of-print and again,with a low print run,is a reasonably scarce and sought after title, particularly in this good a grade.
