A planet travels through space, crushing other planets and extracting the minerals for its own use. And it's just crushed the planet where the tracer claims the 4th Doctor and Romana can find the 2nd segment of the Key To Time. Looks like the Doctor will have to teach the rulers of the planet not to go around doing things like this. This was the first Doctor Who story written by Douglas Adams (The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, one good sequel, one ok sequel, two pieces of utter dreck published as sequels, and the unfinished 6th book in said series).
