5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for The Witch Hunters, 28 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Steve Lyons has really captured the spirit of the early Hartnell stories in "The Witch Hunters". The dialogue of the four main characters is superb, and I could virtually hear the original actors speaking the words on the page as I read them. "The Witch Hunters" was the first historical DR WHO novel I'd read, and I wasn't sure initially that I would enjoy it, but I soon got caught up in the events of the Salem witch trials and found it a real page turner. Having finished the book I almost wish that it existed as a television story in its own right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back William Hartnell, 18 Oct 2001
This will be a very short review. The Witch Hunters is probably the best Doctor Who story i have ever read (or seen for that matter). Steve Lyons has perfectly recreated the atmosphere and characters of the first Doctor's era - The images in my head were all the more striking for being in black and white.
And what a subject to explore, the Salem witch trials! I have to admit to wondering how the author would be able to explain away the presence of the TARDIS and it's crew in such a well documented period of history, but in my opinion he has done this seamlessly.
Without wanting to give away the end of this glorious novel i will just say that i was moved to tears by the way the Doctor resolved the most overwhelming dilemma of the story.
You must read this book even if you are not a big fan of the series as, on top of anything else, it gives a fascinating insight into that terrifying period of our history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captures the tense but strong, caring relationships, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
The agony of the First Doctor in his responsibility to his companions, the falsely accused witches, and to the Laws of Time is so evident in this story and captured vividly by Steve Lyons. My only concern is the ease with which Susan endangers all the others in her oft unreasonable overall reaction to the Salem experience. It happens too simply with her, especially for a person who understands the nuances of the TARDIS and time travel. I also felt drawn right into their dialogue and could picture Ian, Barbara, and the Doctor stating their lines in true character.
