"In 2070, the Earth's weather is controlled from a base on the moon. But when the Doctor and his friends arrive, all is not well. They discover unexplained drops of air pressure, minor problems with the weather control systems, and an outbreak of a mysterious plague. With Jamie injured, and members of the crew going missing, the Doctor realises that the moonbase is under attack. Some malevolent force is infecting the crew and sabotaging the systems as a prelude to an invasion of Earth. And the Doctor thinks he knows who is behind it: the Cybermen."
Sadly, I didn't enjoy this as much as the previous three novelisations. Maybe it was because it's based on a story - The Moonbase - that isn't that well regarded (and I'm sure what exists of this story was on the Lost in Time DVD, but I don't remember seeing it. So it really was memorable!) but it seemed to me to be really sloppily written. Seems to me Gerry Davis didn't think much of this story either.
Good introduction by Gareth Roberts though!
