The Doctor promised Martha Jones a relaxing holiday at the beach in Arabia, “Late twenty-first century. Best Beach of the Century in Bartholomew's Planetary Gazetteer and Time Traveler's Guide,” he brags, but when they open the door of the TARDIS they’re hit with an icy blast of wind and a vista of ice and snow.
Actually they’re not too far from their intended destination in space-time. The TARDIS has re-materialized in Dubai, but right in the middle of one of the huge SnowGlobes, giant domes designed to preserve parts of the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets as a hedge against the climactic effects of global warming. But scooped up with the ice was the slumbering form of an alien menace lying dormant since the last ice age. But now it’s awake and very, very hungry.
Tucker has captured the fast pace of the current television series with this action-adventure science fiction horror tale of world domination. Who will win the epic struggle? On one side are the humans, the second generation Terrans the “mottled green-blue” Flisk, a service robot, and one Time Lord versus the Grappa, flesh-eating, plague-breathing, telepathic giant hairy spiders from the other side of the galaxy.
