Airey wrote this book as a crossover because, at the time (the late 70s), there were no Doctor Who fanzines and her other love was "Star Trek" (The original version). The very first version was printed in the ST zine "R&R XII." The illo of the Doctor (Tom Baker) was done by an artist who had never seen the show and looked like a bescarfed Bob Hope. As DW fandom evolved in the early 80s, Airey revised and published the story with illustrations from some young artists who had watched the show. It was not intended as a "parody." The planet visited is, indeed, intended as a salute to Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series — something that many media fans did not realise. As mentioned below, this version is available for free. Please read it and not the other! Any version that has The Wizard O
