Format:Mass Market Paperback
This original Doctor Who novel features the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and his leather-clad warrior companion from the late 70s; Leela. The supernatural is very much the theme of this story; in many ways it works as something of a companion piece to 1977 TV serial `Image of the Fendahl' which was scripted by the author, Chris Boucher. The story sees the time travellers arrive on a UK university campus sometime in the late Twentieth Century, where they discover that experiments involving a group of students and their so called 'psychic' powers are being conducted. Elements of the story include: Ouija boards, evil spirits, graveyards, a creepy wood (very Fendahl), telepathy, cocky students, deluded professors, bemused policemen, a Doctor who you can just imagine bounding along in bug-eyed delight, and lashings of mystery and intrigue.
Boucher joins all the plot threads together competently, and there is real humour in The Doctor's interactions with the Earth authorities. All in this novel is one of my favourites in the range; Psi-Ence Fiction is accessible, uncomplicated, and refuses to be a slave to technobabble; highly recommended for hardcore fans and those wishing to explore anew the worlds of Doctor Who.

Great novel in the range of post-Doctor Who The Movie offerings from BBC books. Written by the scriptwriter of 1977 TV serial 'Doctor Who Image of the Fendahl', Chris Boucher, this book is similar in tone to that serial and deals with supernatural themes as well.
The Fourth Doctor 'all teeth and curls' and his companion Leela - a warrior from the tribe of Sevateem - investigate goings-on at a university campus somewhere in the UK in the present day.
Lively and fast-paced; this story suffers from a slightly disappointing denoument but remains a fun and worthwhile read.

scary stuff 11 Aug 2006
By Paul Tapner TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Chris Boucher finally hits his stride with this novel, a story that does have echoes of his tv script image of the fendahl, and feels like something that could have been a doctor who tv story from the middle of the 70's.

The setting is well realised, the supporting characters are pretty good, but best of all is the atmosphere. There are attempts at scary moments in the writing, and they succeed. Far better than his first two efforts, this is good stuff
