Product Description
A strange signal from Earth draws the TARDIS to the island of Lanzarote, where Turlough rescues a young American girl, Peri, from drowning. Among her possessions is an artifact bearing an alien symbol – the same triangular mark that Turlough has branded into his arm. The mystery deepens when Kamelion falls under the control of a powerful mind, and the TARDIS travels to the volcanic world of Sarn. As Turlough is forced to face his past, the Doctor must stop his oldest enemy from harnessing the revitalizing powers of Numismaton gas.

 Peter Grimwade's finest November 30, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is truly a fantastic Fifth Doctor adventure, right in time for the anniversary week. Author, Peter Grimwade creates an elaborate and compact plot, as well as finding time to introduce Peri. Beyond its (somewhat) historical value, it sports the reappearance of Kamelion, and the Master, as well as probing into the depths of the characters' past and their relationship to Sarn, the Planet of Fire.

Well, Planet of Fire has many things going for it. First it does'nt feature Tegan - which gives Peter Davison's Doctor a chance to actually seem intelligent - and yes Peri in the swimsuit might just encourage male viewers. Just as a note this story also acts as a swansong for Kamileon - a little-seen robotic companion first seen in "The King's Demons"

Refreshingly original and free from rubber monsters. The enigmatic Turlough's secrets are at last revealed and the excellently sinister Master returns.

Peri in a swimsuit. Enough said
The Doctors new companion. September 21, 1999

Loosing Turlough at the episode was saddening but his replacement Peri being more intelligent than some of the past companion Charecters was different. I also liked finding out more about Turlough and where he and his grasp of advanced technologies had come from.
