AN OK READ
I read this book in two days and thought it was very good. the doctor and jo are very good even though Jo does not do very much. The story is about drug smuggling and the draconians are in it too an ok book but nothing startling.

Decent Third Doctor fare...with Draconians!
A very mild and straightforward read, told in a straightforward though entertaining way. Nothing remotely demanding here, but it's very welcome after vague and incomprehensible tosh like Beltempest and Placebo effect. It's basically another variation on the oppressed alien race theme with drugs, sexual inferences and violence which don't always sit comfortably with the plot, instead seeming at odds with it. Doesn't spoil it too much though, and it's ultimately a satisfying read.

too modern for Pertwee's era
This book is a great adventure but it has many bad points. In this book there is swearing, drugs, violence and sex mentioned. Doctor Who was never like that, especially in the Pertwee era. Would the Doctor chuck his foes in the air and then say 'i detest violence!'. However, it is a great tale and all the characters are well drawn and presented. Terrance Dicks i think aimed this novel for a young generation thats why the violence and swearing is added.
