When they arrive in China in 1865, they find banditry, rebellion, and foreign oppression rife. Trying to maintain order are the British Empire and the Ten Tigers of Canton, the most respected martial arts masters in the world. There is more to the chaos that mere human violence and ambition. Can legends of ancient vengeance be coming true? Why does everyone Ian meets already know who he is? The Doctor has his suspicions, but he is occupied by challenges of his own. Sometimes the greatest danger is not from the enemy, but from the heart...This adventure features the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki.

Kung-Fu Who!
From the blurb this looks to be an all action Kung-Fu fest - in fact it's a well paced combination of Hartnell historical and alien menace. Ian has a major subplot when he seems to find a later version of himself marooned in 1865 China with amnesia which greatly helps to keep up the pace during the novels first half. The novel doesn't quite build to the climax it should, but this is still a highly enjoyable trek for the 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki - recommended.
