Kursaal is a pleasure world, a huge theme park for the Cronus system - or rather it will be if it isn't destroyed during construction.
Eco-terrorists
want the project halted to preserve vital archaeological sites - areas containing
the last remains of the long-dead Jax, an ancient wolf-like race, whose remains
are being buried beneath the big-business tourist attractions.
Sam
falls in with the environmentalists and finds her loyalties divided. Meanwhile,
the Doctor's own investigations lead him to believe that the Jax are not
extinct after all.
Cut
off from the TARDIS, separated from his companion and pursued for murder, the
Doctor realises Kursaal hides a terrible secret - and that Sam is being
affected by events more than anyone would guess...
This
book is another in the series of adventures featuring the Eighth Doctor and
Sam.
