The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind was the fourth instalment in the Novelisations in Time & Space series. It was written by Micah K. Spurling, adapted from Pip and Jane Baker's script for the 2000 audio story.

Publisher's summary[]

The Rani is a prisoner. Of the Tetraps. Those hideous rodent-like vampires over which she once ruled. No longer. The devious Urak, her erstwhile disciple, has turned the tables. The Rani is put on trial. And condemned to death. A sentence to be commuted if she exercises her unique scientific prowess to solve a problem threatening to depopulate Tetrapyriabus.

Famine. Shortage of food.

What food?

Blood.

Whose blood?

The answer is in the cells where a pair of kidnapped humans and a pair of aliens are incarcerated. Destined to become the subjects of a brutal experiment. The Rani forges an unholy alliance with the four "guinea-pigs" in a perilous attempt to escape the nightmare of the planet...

Notes[]

• When BBV Productions was in negotiations with the estate of Pip and Jane Baker for the rights to the Rani, James Hornby wrote a scene for the ending of the novelisation to lead into The Rani Adventures. The scene would have depicted the Rani's painful regeneration into her second incarnation.^[2]
