Another day, another crisis: K9 is sent to investigate vast explosions in the Zeta Cancri system (also referred to Zeta Four Sector) where it is feared that if the stars collide the whole galactic neighbourhood will be devastated. (I checked, and ζ Cancri is indeed a well-known and complex multiple star system, though of course any the consequences of two of the stars colliding would be neither as immediate or as widely devastating as the book would have it.) Here for the first time we see the Time Lords who give K9 his orders, and they are indeed a rum bunch, though reminiscent of the Time Lord Council we were to encounter shortly in The Tides of Time.
The plot is a bit unfocussed: K9 finds a vast prison ship and an attractive young prisoner called Dea; he frees her, and she explains that they are witnessing the last stages of a war between the Telians and Megallans; K9 and Dea then watch as the two sides' leaders mutually destroy each other. K9, having not actually done anything to resolve the crisis, then stays behind to help Dea care for the remaining victims, explaining to the Time Lords on his return that he was aiming to improve his "understanding of the humanoid race", though with negative results. It's an interesting counterpart to the previous book in that K9 appears to feel that his lack of emotions is a potential disability after all. ( )
