Böcker av Will Hadcroft

Frazer Hines reads a brand new story featuring the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe. The TARDIS brings its occupants to Calico Three, an Earth-like planetoid where industrial foundries are worked alongside sophisticated technology. The Doctor is staggered to learn about the Resurrection Plant, which re-births anyone mortally wounded in the line of work. While Jamie is put to work in the foundry, Zoe and the Doctor investigate the Plant - but when the machine goes terribly wrong, they must work with the locals to combat a horrifying monster. The Doctor also uncovers a shameful secret that, for him at least, hits close to home. Frazer Hines, who played Jamie in the TV series, reads Will Hadcroft's intriguing adventure.
