In Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters, read by former companion Caroline John, all is not well at the Wenley Moor underground atomic research station.

The Time Lords direct Doctor and Jo Grant to a bleak planet in the year 2471, where they find colonists from Earth under threat from mysterious, savage, monster lizards with frightful claws!
