Publisher's summary[]

In theory the TARDIS should be able to change its appearance to blend in unobtrusively wherever it happens to materialise. In practice, however, because of a fault in the chameleon circuit, it always looks like a police box — a minor inconvenience the Doctor now hopes to correct.

Fixing the mechanism involves a visit to Earth and a trip to the planet Logopolis — normally a quiet little place that keeps itself to itself.

But on this occasion the meddling presence of the Doctor's archenemy, the Master, ensures the disruption of normality. And even the Master is horrified by the threat of total chaos he unintentionally precipitates — until he finds a way to turn the imminent destruction of the universe to his own advantage...

Plot[]

Chapter 1[]

As the Doctor paces around inside of his TARDIS, a police constable named Donald Seagrave attempts to make a call to his superintendent in a police box but finds that the connection is terrible. Unbeknownst to him, this is because a TARDIS has materialized around the police box. Once the TARDIS has finished materializing, the line goes dead and Donald is killed by something inside the TARDIS which then chuckles.
