Title Duration Blurb
Part One 30' 21" As Ferras and Orlensa come close enough to Charley for her to see them properly, she's shocked. She can see their faces, but from their reactions they don't know what's happened to them. She pauses before telling them that they've both lost their eyes...

Part Three 27' 23" As the first dawn in the Cimmerian system for a thousand years begins, the ROSM reports unidentified objects entering the System. Charley retorts that they haven't wasted any time, and the Doctor knows that it's the return of the ancients...
Part Four 32' 24" After Charley informs Haliard that she used her feminine guile to defeat him in the draughts, the Doctor asks her if she's ready to go, which she assures him that she definitely is...

back cover blurb

The Doctor and Charley travel to the remote Cimmerian System to unravel the mystery of its sun. But darkness has already embraced the scientific base on Cimmeria IV in more ways than one. In a fight for survival, the Doctor must use all his wits against a deadly artificial life-form and an ancient race whose return to the Cimmerian System threatens suffering and death on an apocalyptic scale.
