Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet

Resumen del libro

The hugely powerful Key to Time has been split into six segments, all of which have been disguised and hidden throughout time and space.

With the first segment successfully retrieved, the Doctor, Romana and K-9 trace the second segment of the Key to the planet Calufrax.

But when they arrive at exactly the right point in space, they find themselves on exactly the wrong planet - Zanak. Ruled by the mysterious Captain', Zanak is a happy and prosperous planet. Mostly.
