Outside the TARDIS crew, the characters in this story are pretty cut and dried. The warlike Dominators, completely lacking in emotions beyond hate and anger have landed on Dulkis. The Dulcians are an extremely pacifist bunch who just hope the Dominators will take what they want and go away. Of course no one really knows what the Dominators want, except that it may involve the annihilation of the planet. The Dulcians are so unable to act that they decide to do nothing and hope the hateful, deranged, kill without thought and show no remorse afterwords Dominators will suddenly decide that they should abandon their path and take after them and sit about talking about nothing for months on end and pretend the rest of the universe does not exist. The Doctor is joined by Jamie and Zoe. They manage to get a few Dulcians to help them and together they take on the Dominators and their powerful Quark robots. Can the small group save Dulkis and possible the galaxy from the evil Dominators? A quick fun read, nothing too deep or philosophical here.
