The War Machines

OUT OF PRINT

When the TARDIS materializes in the shadows of London's soaring Post Office Tower, the Doctor senses a strange, evil energy in the air. The mystery of its origins only deepens when he finds a driven professor and a super computer, WOTAN, occupying a suite high atop the tower. With the computer about to be connected to a worldwide network, the discovery of a warehouse filled with deadly robots finally makes the puzzle----and its horrific implications---chillingly clear.
