PLOT SUMMARY
On an alien planet Tegan becomes possessed by the snake like evil of
the Mara. Also on the planet is a colonisation team who are in conflict
the telepathic indigenous people, the Kinda.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Showcase for Janet Fielding who gets to play evil as well as petulant.
The pseudo religious and philosophical sub text bogs it down a bit too
much.
