== Publisher's summary ==
The dead planet Onyakis is being plundered by the last survivors of the human race, and their leader, Commander Cobden, will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Already there are rumours of those who stand against him mysteriously disappearing. But when the Doctor and Charley find themselves on the side of those trying to expose Cobden, they discover something far more sinister.
Deep in the mines of Onyakis, alien technology is reactivating. Power is flowing. Something is forming in the darkness...

== Continuity ==
* The setting of this story is roughly the same as TV: The Ark in Space. While it does not occur on the Ark itself, the humans involved in the story are colonists fleeing the Earth because of the ravages of solar flares. The main guest stars are all aware of the Ark, but consider its chances for success slim at best. This places the story sometime after 6087, the year the solar flares ravaged Earth. The third edition of aHistory dates this story to circa 6700.
* The Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot previously encountered the Krotons on the Gond planet. (TV: The Krotons)
* An encounter between the Sixth Doctor and the Krotons was previously referred to in PROSE: Alien Bodies.
* The Doctor refers to his three visits to the Nerva Beacon during his fourth incarnation. (TV: The Ark in Space, Revenge of the Cybermen; AUDIO: Destination: Nerva)
* The Kroton leader claims that their dynatrope is superior to the one encountered by the Second Doctor on the Gond planet. (TV: The Krotons)
* While she is semi-conscious, Charley refers to C'rizz's death and the Eighth Doctor's reaction to it. (AUDIO: Absolution)
