The Doctor arrives for a flower show on Chelsea 426, a human colony of Saturn. However, he notices many of the local shopkeepers acting oddly. Then the Sontarans show up. They are not fans of flowers.
An unabridged audiobook was released in April 2010, read by Christopher Ryan, who played several Sontaran characters in the television series.
