In the 17th century, an old Tibetan friend of the Doctor's reached out and touched the mind of an alien disembodied energy, giving it a conduit to Earth. 300 years later, the Doctor returns to the Himalayas to return the Holy Ganta, an ancient relic he was given many centuries ago by the grateful monks at Det-Sen Monastery.

On arriving however, the Doctor is treated as a villain – blamed for a series of brutal murders in the area. Jamie and Victoria meanwhile discover the true culprits – the previously peaceful Yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent.

The Doctor must convince the monks that not only is he not their enemy, but the real foe –and the power controlling the Yeti – is living amongst them. Their ancient Master, Padmasambhava, is being controlled by an alien entity known only as the Great Intelligence.

Most of the original 1967 master recordings of the six-part adventure 'The Abominable Snowmen' were lost soon after the programme's original transmission. However, audio-only recordings of all the episodes have survived and have been used here to create six brand new fully animated presentations of this lost classic, alongside the one surviving segment, Episode Two.

Currently but perhaps optimistically listed as 31st December 2021 though the preview says 2022.

This was my first Target novel too! After discovering Doctor Who in 1983, I read through most of the Pinnacle Books before realizing that they were adapted for an American audience. I stumbled across a Target copy of Abominable Snowmen a few months later.

[ProfXtacy]

It was one of the early Target Novelisations I bought. My first was The Dalek Invasion of Earth and it was before I was aware of William Hartnell and I thought it wa an adaptation of the Peter Cushing film - didn’t help that Chris Achilleos cover illustration had movie versions of the Robomen and Dalek flying saucer on it. I discovered a used book store on my local market that had lots of old Doctor Who books and this along with The Loch Ness Monster were the first ones I bought from there.

I think that's a mistake. The DW website doesn't mention UHD and it's the same price as the other animation steelbooks.

I agree - it has to be a mistake. Otherwise, it surely would have featured in the announcement!

Finally. Just keep em coming.

[The Valeyard]

My steelbook arrived safe and sound in CA via Amazon UK. Going to cherish this one even more since it'll be the last one for the foreseeable future.

Got mine earlier this week and really enjoyed it!
