"Goodbye, Doctor?" the green Cyberman queried. "Nothing ends. Wheels turn, cycles begin
and end. You, that begins and ends lives as part of function, you should know better
than anyone."
Altos 3 - a planet of no stragic significance; the perfect place for the Doctor and Wil
to enjoy a quiet drink. But, in avoiding a bar-room brawl they attract the attention of
a girl named Bevin - sent by her grandmother to find them. But why is Bevin so reluctant
to let the Doctor and her grandmother meet? And what is the source of Bevin's
grandmother's precognition?
But soon more important problems rear their heads. A alien space-ship lands, carrying
silver giants for whom Altos 3 offers the hope of survival. And something else; a legacy
of a long-destroyed civilisation, and an old enemy of the Doctor.
