Product Description

Product Description
The planet Chloris is very fertile, but metal is in short supply and has therefore become extremely valuable. A huge creature, with most unusual physical properties, arrives from an alien planet which can provide Chloris with metal from its own unlimited supplies, in exchange for chlorophyll. However, the ruthless Lady Adrasta has been able to exploit the shortage of metal to her own advantage, and has no wish to see the situation change. The Doctor and Romana land on Chloris just as the creature's alien masters begin to lose patience over their ambassador's long absence. The action the aliens decide to take will have devastating consequences for Chloris, unless something is done to prevent it...Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in the BBC TV series, reads David Fisher's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1975. '"BBC Audiobooks" has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers...they benefit from new music and sound effects' - "Doctor Who Magazine".

5.0 out of 5 stars Pitiless, 8 Mar 2009
By Binro The Heretic "mattieboyz" (Hillsborough, Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The great Tom Baker narrates this audio version of the 1981 Target novelisation of the TV story in which he starred as The Doctor. The story is a natural choice to be adapted for audio; the titular creature has gone down in Doctor Who lore as one of the worst-realised of the show's infamous `rubber monsters' and makes a faintly embarrassing visual spectacle. However, this was always one of my favourite novels as it has some great characters, including the nasty `wolfweeds', the vindictive `Madame Karela' and the corrupt ruler of the planet Chloris `Lady Adrasta'. Erato, the creature, is actually an intelligent and humane ambassador from the planet Tythonus, who has been trapped in a mine by Adrasta and used as an unwitting executioner for anyone she wants to get rid of.
Baker's rich and booming tones have mellowed with age but I could still listen to his voice all day. He deals well with the nuances and variations in pitch and tone necessary to make an audio story work, and I am eagerly awaiting his next one.
