[edit] Synopsis

The TARDIS takes the Doctor and Rose to the Justicia System — a prison camp comprising of the six planets in that solar system. The pair are separated and trapped in different environments, each determined to escape in their own distinctive styles. However, their plans are complicated when some old enemies show up. Are the Slitheen really attempting a takeover of Justicia, or is it something far more sinister?

This book features another family from the same race as the Slitheen called the Blathereen, who are cousins to the Slitheen and twice as tall. It is also the first Ninth Doctor story, televised or otherwise, to take place away from Earth (a fact that is addressed within the text itself). The Justicia System is mentioned in the episode Boom Town, making this the first spin-off book to be referenced on-screen.
