Publisher's summary
Edit
The huge, octopus-like Kroll lived deep in the swamps of the humid, steamy planet.
To the native swamp-warriors, Kroll was an angry, mythical god. To the money-grabbing alien technicians, Kroll was a threat to a profit-making scheme.
In their search for another segment of the Key to Time, the Fourth Doctor and Romana have to face the suspicion of the Lagoon dwellers, the stupidity of the technicians and, finally the power of Kroll …
THE POWER OF KROLL is a novel in the Key to Time Sequence. Also available THE RIBOS OPERATION, |THE STONES OF BLOOD and THE ANDROIDS OF TARA.

- Then producer John Nathan-Turner expressed the view that he thought the cover artwork poor. The image of Tom Baker on the original edition is taken from his expression after defeating Kroll and obtaining the fifth segment of the Key to Time in the original story.
