Book Description

7 Feb 2000 0563555912 978-0563555919 paperback / softback
Millenia ago, the Vanir ripped a hole in reality and created a gateway to the Higher Dimensions. This resulted in the warping of vast areas of space, and anyone who perceived these Higher Dimensions went insane. The Vanier disappeared into the gateway and all that remains of them is shimmering, golden palace floating in the clouds...The Doctor inadvertently materializes on Ashkellia, where Valdemar's tomb lies. The Doctor must escape imprisonment by Neville, a debauched aristocrat, to save both the universe and himself from the Higher Dimensions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad story. 12 April 2000
Format:Paperback
There were only a few problems I had with this Fourth Doctor story set during the "Key to Time" series. The first was it really didn't feel like a Fourth Doctor tale. Some of the scenes in this book were so bizarre that you had to put it down and say, "What the heck! ". The other was the portrayal of the Doctor. Most of the writers tend to overly portray the Fourth Doctor as an imbeccilic clown. Although, he is very well known for his "Teeth and curls" I would love to see a writer go deeper into the Fourth Doctor's character. Now onto the good. Besides those pretty minor flaws, I thought there were alot of interesting ideas in the book. The Doctor has to put his mission for the White Guardian on hold as he and his new companion Romana accidentally stumble apon a expedition led by a mad man to open a tomb and release an ancient god known as Valdemar. If this mad man is successful, the universe as we know it will cease to be. The author's portrayal of Romana is very good as he focuses on not only her annoyance of having to put up with the Doctor's eccentricities, but also learn how to cope with the life outside the comforts of Gallifrey. This books tends to be a bit slow at parts and the supporting characters tend to be on the annoying and unlikeable side, which could have possibly been the authors intentions. But if those set backs don't bother you in the least, I highly recommend you pick up this book. It not bad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plod your way through the nonsense... 15 Nov 2001
By finna
Format:Paperback
Pretty pointless and pedestrian story in which nothing much happens, nothing that makes any kind of sense anyway. A hugely promising beginning involving a horrific alien transformation in a tomb soon deteriorates into a load of rubbish about an insane necromancer, his gifted disciple and some mumbo-jumbo about the 'higher dimensions', which of course are never properly explained. Avoid, unless you want to risk being bored to death.
