The Valeyard's prosecution continues as he presents damning evidence of the Doctor's interference on the planet Thoros Beta. Dangerous experiments are being carried out there that could affect the future of all life, and they must be stopped.

But why is the Doctor so determined to help his former enemy — the greedy, opportunistic Sil? And why has he turned against his companion Peri? One thing is certain: someone will die..."
