[[Creator/PaulMcGann The Doctor]] and [[Creator/MaryShelley Mary Shelley]] visit the frontier world of Draxine, where the tenth generation of human settlers have flourished for centuries. Though two great cities were once standing, the city of Garrak fell victim to an insidious cult and was promptly obliterated from the map.

Now, years later when they were all but forgotten, they rear their heads again, and brings along an Army of Death.

!!Army of Death contains examples of the following tropes:

* BaitAndSwitchComparison: Mary writes of an other worldly man she loves, someone who just ''appeared'' in her life. Percy Shelley.
* DemBones:
-- Bones... Moving bones!?
* NonIndicativeName: The Doctor claimed this of [[NoodleIncident planet Mayhem]]. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He wasn't right]].
* SoiledCityOnAHill: Garrak.
