Summary
The Wheel. A ring of ice and steel
turning around a moon of Saturn, and home to a mining colony
supplying a resource-hungry Earth. It's a bad place to grow up.
The colony has been plagued by problems. Maybe it's just
gremlins, just bad luck. But the equipment failures and thefts
of resources have been increasing, and there have been stories
among the children of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the
Wheel. Many of the younger workers refuse to go down the
warren-like mines anymore. And then sixteen-year-old Phee Laws,
surfing Saturn's rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from
destruction. Aboard the Wheel, the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find a
critical situation - and they are suspected by some as the
source of the sabotage. They soon find themselves caught in a
mystery that goes right back to the creation of the solar
system. A mystery that could kill them all.
