Product Description

The Doctor arrives in an underwater base on the planet Flydon Maxima – known locally as ‘Despair’ because hope is lost for all life there. The scientific base has for centuries been monitoring the results of planetary warming – the slow melting of the glaciers at the south pole and subsequent rise in sea levels. Curiously their most advanced monitoring equipment was created and donated by Varlos. The Doctor is helped by a little girl called Gisella. Why did Varlos risk coming here? What has caused the ice to crumble so rapidly now? Can the Doctor evade the rampaging Dreadbringers, and sort out the attacking sea monsters? Who is Gisella and will she and the Doctor manage to escape in the TARDIS? Don’t miss this thrilling fourth instalment of the Darksmith Legacy…..

Warriors of the Deep
After the previous book's slight detour, Justin Richards has The Doctor back on the trail of the insidious Darksmiths and arriving at an underwater research facility on the planet Flydon Maxima. Similar in style and tone to Richards' first book in the series, The Depths of Despair features massive tentacled sea monsters attacking the base and some new villains in the form of the `Dreadbringers', full-helmeted troopers that come across as a kind of cross between The Judoon and the stormtroopers from Star Wars.

Uncomplicated and thoroughly enjoyable, the series continues to impress in much the same way as the new TV show. Roll on part 5.
