5.0 out of 5 stars The best Hartnell novel yet published, 11 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: Bunker Soldiers (Paperback)
Fans of the First Doctor will love this-a splendid, spanking read mixing history and SF plot ingredients to make a satisfying whole.

The story is sound, and while yes I agree with another reviewer on this page that Steven is perhaps a little blandly characterised, the Doctor comes wholly to the fore. One can just imagine Hartnell giving it his all! This is the best 1st Dr novel yet published. Better even than The Plotters or The Witch Hunters. Buy It!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Welcome Return For Martin Day To 'Who' Fiction, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: Bunker Soldiers (Paperback)
The First Doctor and his companions find themselves trapped within the city of Kiev, shortly before it is besieged by the Mongol Empire in 1240. As if that wasn't bad enough, the citizens of Kiev start suffering from a mysterious plague shortly after their saviour, a 'dark angel' that fell from the skies centuries earlier, is awakened.

This is a thoroughly entertaining novel set during a period of history I knew very little about, so I ended up learning as I was reading - always an added bonus whilst reading.

The majority of the story is written from the perspective of the Doctor's companion, Steven Taylor, which is another point in the novel's favour, as first-person narrative always goes down well with me. One thing that I found odd was that, although we're privy to Steven's thoughts, we don't actually find out anything about him. 'Who' fans will know that he's a space pilot from Earth's future, but he could just as well be a binman from the twentieth-century, his character is so lacking in this book. But that's a minor grumble at best.

Fans of the Doctor's historical adventures should not be disappointed with this novel despite the rather jarring scenes with the eponymous alien 'bunker soldier' which the city's inhabitants view as their guardian angel against the Mongol hordes. A welcome addition to the 'Past Doctors Adventures' range.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pseudo-historical starring Billy Hartnell., 13 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: Bunker Soldiers (Paperback)
This book takes place during the 12th Century in Kiev, a city under threat from the Mongol hordes. Partially narrated by companion Steven (Peter Purves) the Doctor, in his 1st incarnation, doesn't actually have that much to do - which is quite in keeping with the spirit of his era. The historical aspect is meticulously detailed, and chillingly fascinating. The s-f content is slightly less successful, feeling as though it's been grafted on: as such it is unneccesary. Quite enough happens for a standard historical of exceptional quality (and yes, undoubtedly a lot better than Martin Day's previous past Doc story, The Menagerie).
