'Look, Brigadier! It's growing!' screamed Sarah. The Brigadier stared in amazement as the Robot began to grow... and grow... swelling to the size of a giant! Slowly the metal colossus, casting its enormous shadow upon the surrounding trees and buildings, began to stride towards the Brigadier. A giant metal hand reached down to grasp him... Can Doctor Who defeat the evil forces controlling the Robot before they execute their plans to blackmail - or destroy - the world? Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks' complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1975. 'They're well-written books - adventure stories, of course, but with some thought... the creation of the character of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it.' - Westminster Press.
