Good look into the first TARDIS Crew
As an American fan of the series with limited exposure to the First and Second Doctors, I found this book to be enjoyable and interesting. One of the things that impressed me about this storyline was the individual attention that is given to the Doctor and each of his companions. Each member of the Tardis crew has a chance to shine in their own right in this storyline. This adventure also gives some details to the Time Lord nature of the Doctor's grandaughter Susan as she contemplates having to regenerate after serious injury. All in all, the purchase price of this Doctor Who Adventure was money well spent in my opinion.

A six parter from the 60's
Christopher Bulis never writes great literature. But he writes readable prose and good stories. And that's what I want from this range.

This is a story that could have been done on tv in the 60's, and would have probably been a six parter if it had been. The original tardis crew arrive on a doomed world and get involved in plans to escape from it. But of course they find there's fare more to the place than meets the eye.

Not quite as strong in the writing as his earlier first doctor novel the sorceror's apprentice, but still an entertaining read.

Surprisingly sinister...
A dark, mysterious and interesting story full of clever, unexpected twists. The first Doctor and his companions are characterised very well too. A little far fetched towards the end perhaps, but ingenious and well thought out.
