Product Description
Product Description
In his fourth incarnation, the Doctor landed on the planet Zeta Minor, a world located on the edge of the known universe, the bridge-point for the opposite universes of matter and anti-matter.
Now in his fifth life, the Doctor meets the same race the landed there before, and once again they are eager to harness its secrets -- with terrifyingly dangerous results.
Caught up in a situation akin to a Jacobean revenge tragedy, the Doctor must fight his way through layers of court intrigue before he can try to stop the people really in control from allowing the forces of Anti-matter free reign to destroy every life-form in the universe.

Good strong story. But there are a quite a number of characters. I found myself having to concentrate to keep on top of who everyone was, and what their motives were. However, it builds up into quite a climax in the end. Pretty good though, it kept me interested enough to read it in quite a short space of time.
It's one hundred years post the end of the tv story planet of evil. For the people of the planet that the spaceship in that story came from, at any rate. Left by the fourth doctor to find a new source of energy, a hint he gave them has had consequences.
Drawn to the world by visions of disaster, the fifth doctor must deal with this. And the result of something his former self did.
This is the best kind of sequel, because it takes the story of the original and spins it off in a new direction. The tardis crew are very well characterised, and the story is compelling. A very entertaining read and a rather underrated book

A rather patchy and confusing sequel to 'Planet of Evil', a story which stands very strongly by itself in any case. There are far too many characters flying around the scene and their motives are frequently not explained properly, leaving the reader in the dark. The story does not convincingly further the story of Morestra either, though there are a few interesting ideas such as the energy tower, and the story does hot up quite a bit towards the end. It's not a bad story by any means, but nor is it one of the best. Just average, really.
