Planet Samur was once a peaceful haven. Pilgrims journeyed across the seven galaxies
to meditate in the courtyards of the vast Citadel that spanned its equator. It was Samur’s
misfortune, however, to find itself situated on the furthermost frontier in the eternal war
between the amoeboid Rutan Host and the belligerent, troll-like Sontarans…

Twenty years after detonating a bacteriological weapon over Samur, rendering it uninhabitable,
the Sontarans are back: a select platoon of seven has landed here on a secret mission, carrying
sealed orders given to them by Fleet Marshal Stabb.

The TARDIS has landed here, too, bringing the Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa into the
second great Battle of Samur. Fighting not only the Sontarans, but mystical mercenaries…
and a deadly, decades-old curse.
