Product Description

Product Description

Landing on a barren asteroid, the Doctor and his friends discover the final pages of a drama that has torn apart an empire are being played out.

Who is the man in the mask, and how are his chess games affecting life and death in his prison? What is the secret of the knights in armor that line the bleak walls of the settlement. And what is the nature of the alien ship approaching -- and what will it want when it arrives?

Soon the TARDIS crew find themselves under siege with a deadly robotic race and human traitors to defeat -- and the future of an entire stellar empire hangs in the balance: if the Doctor cannot triumph it will become a force not for good, but for evil.

Justin Richards does it again with this atmospheric novel about politics and war. Anyone who has since listened to his Big Finish CD "The Whispers of Terror" will keenly note the parallels. His characterisation of the Doctor is spot on. Jamie and Victoria come off well too and are given a lot ot do. The most powerful aspect of the book is the carefully woven chess imagery which pulls the plot together. Despite the static setting, this is a fast paced Who which I would have loved to have seen on screen as part of the 1967-68 season.

Even though I received this product in the post promptly, the condition of its arrival wasn't very good. Some corners were bent, there's a noticeable crease down the spine and the pages seem ragged with more creases everywhere. I was surprised to find the price of this product so low and now I realise why. As I am big fan of Doctor Who, I'm sure I'll enjoy the read thoroughly. Everyone should by the Doctor Who BBC Books.

The good doctor 15 April 2011
By Michael Finn TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
The Second Doctor finds himself in that oh so familiar siege situation again but this time the writer manages to pull it off with admirable flare. The Tardis crew are brilliantly brought back to us in a book that is easily the best yet from this era of the show. It just has a rightness to it that makes it a pleasure to read. It's an exciting actioner that manages not to leave its brains at the door. If you haven't read any of these books yet you could do a lot worse than starting with Dreams of Empire.
