Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A quick and dirty novelization of the Doctor Who storyline of the same name. The story itself is very cool -- alien beings made of antimatter, Time Lord High Councils, a somewhat spunky female companion (Nyssa has no qualms about picking up a gun to defend herself), treason and betrayal, and a reintroduction of Tegan to the Doctor Who fold. However, the writing was little more than the script gussied up with some narrative and lots of superfluous adverbs: "looked despairingly", "asked urgently", etc. Still, I enjoyed the plot and managed to power through the book in about an hour, so it does not have too many marks deducted.

Geoffrey Beevers reads this action-packed novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fifth Doctor. When the Doctor returns to Gallifrey, he learns that his bio data extract has been stolen from the Time Lords' master computer, known as the Matrix. The extract is a detailed description of the Doctor's molecular structure which, in the wrong hands, could be exploited with disastrous effect. The Gallifreyan High Council believe that anti-matter will be infiltrated into the Universe as a result of the theft. To avoid this, they decide the Doctor must die. But an old enemy is waiting in the wings... No library descriptions found. |
