"The ghosts of the Maethrai are hungry, Doctor. It would be a shame if you were to become their next meal." Terror reigns in Kudar City, Maethros: a faceless killer who strikes in broad daylight and then vanishes without a trace. The sheriff of a decaying mining town in a backwater corner of the universe has put out a reward, but all this has accomplished is to attract some of the galaxy's least respectable bounty hunters to Kudar's saloons. Then a strange blue box appears out of thin air near the body of the fourth victim, its occupant naturally going straight to the top of the sheriff's list of suspects. With every gunslinger on Maethros after his head, the Doctor must discover the truth--before an even greater foe beats the bounty hunters to it. This story featuring the 8th Doctor takes place between the audio adventures 'Shada' and 'Storm Warning.' --- A pseudo book cover I did up to show off my attempt to morph Paul McGann's face--marginally successful, although I think I need a better texture for him and a bit more work on the mouth and nose. Yes, I know that the blurb is bloody awful, but since it isn't a real story I don't think it matters.
