This really isn't particularly good. Hayles' original story was over complex anyway, including activist miners, imperialist exploitation, and feminism in a confusing tangle of plot strands which Dicks' novelisation rather fails to untangle and clarify. Definitely for completists only.
It is interesting that this and the previous story are both about external aliens (here, the Ice Warriors) forcing the natives to mine the planet's indigenous mineral resources. Though in this case the human character is one of the bad guys. No wonder people thought the show was running out of ideas.
