Doctor Who: The Art of Destruction by Stephen Cole
The TARDIS lands in 22nd century Africa in the shadow of a dormant volcano. Agri-teams are growing new foodstuffs in the baking soil to help feed the world's starving millions - but the Doctor and Rose have detected an alien signal somewhere close by. When a nightmare force starts surging along the dark volcanic tunnels, the Doctor realises an ancient trap has been sprung. But who was it meant for? And what is the secret of the eerie statues that stand at the heart of the volcano?
One of the best known WWII PoW escape stories. Threemen, Michael Codnor, Eric Williams and Oliver Philpot made it back to Britain via the Baltic and Sweden after escaping from Stalag Luft III. Stalag Luft III was designed to be escape proof. Forty or more tunnels were discovered under construction before this one succeeded.
