Vintage 1965 Frederick Muller Doctor Dr Who And The Zarbi By Bill Strutton Hardback Book With Dust Cover - First Edition. Published by Frederick Muller Limited in 1965 and is the first edition of this fantastic novel which is based on the TV Episodes The Web Planet. The Zarbi, hugh ant-like creatures with metallic bodies and pincer claws, are waiting for Tardis when its police box shape materialies on the cold and craggy planet Vortis. They capture Dr Who, Ian and Vicki and take them to their weird headquarters, a city of web like organic matter. But the Zarbi are not the only beings on Vortis. Barbara has fallen into the hands of the butterfly like creatures with soft voices and iridescent wings, whose civilisation has been destroyed by the Zarbi. She learns that her captors are only the advance party of Menoptera in exile who plan to win back their planet by an invasion from outer space. For the Zarbi have brought the dark age to Vortis. In the final thrilling chapters, Dr Who and the crew, encounter the power which controls both the Zarbi and the living Web City. How can they defeat this strange bladder of dazzling light which draws in and absorbs all who come into its presence?
