Books like The Dominators by Ian Marter
The Doctor recalls Dulkis as a tranquil, civilised world from a prior visit. However, a second journey discovers the planet's pacifist Dulcians increasingly reluctant to engage in violence, a sentiment forged by the Island of Death—a former atomic test site that serves as a grim reminder of war’s horrors. Now an alien race, the Dominators, seeks to exploit the planet's tranquillity, coercing Dulcians into breeding obedient robot slaves. Faced with an imminent existential threat, the Doctor must mobilise the Dulcian people to confront the Dominators and safeguard their home.
