Ty of London Who and The Kindle #212 where the population is bewildered and trembling beneath the violent onslaught of a merciless invaderWho or what is the mighty Zor whose green slanting luminous eyes glare out from the dark of night like giant emeralds What is the power Going into this book I was not expecting much with it The reason is that is was based off an audio production that was done back in the 70s I was pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected Though it did have its flawsThis is another run of the mill story about an alien race trying to take over the Earth Compared to other stories around this time UNIT is nowhere in sight In the televised series UNIT was being phased out However it could have shown up in this story Instead another organization is involved This does does not hamper the story but it does not help with the scope Due to the world wide problem you would expect UNIT to be involvedOne thing that was the biggest surprise were the Pescatons For a one off alien race there was a lot of detail to these aliens There was a lot of background material and the scope of how dangerous they were was clearly known The downside to them would be their leader I won t go into detail since it is a slight spoiler but it felt out of place with everything else about themVictor Pemberton s writing is great The story flows well and the descriptions are great However the characterization of the Doctor was slightly off Overall an enjoyable story with some flaws

Ful alien force that is bringing Earth's civilisation to a standstill threatening to annihilate everything in its pathThis is the story of a dying Planet of a Deadly Weed and the merciless Creatures themselves It is a Challenge to the Doctor a frightening race against time The best thing about this book on CD was the included interview with Elisabeth Sladen RIP Sarah Jane Otherwise it was a predictable and boring if well acted story Fish people invade mayhem abounds whole race destroyed by deus ex machina It was like re reading the worst of the Venom stories I would say skip it but there was that interview with SarahThanks for reading

Considering what Victor Pemberton managed to do with his Fury From the Deep novelization the expectations for this adaptation of his rather mixed LP audio story from the 1970s were high Unfortunately this is just not wort the time Best to simply ignore it and pretend very easily that the 4th Doctor Sarah had other interesting adventures
Another good adventure with the Doctor and Sarah Jane in London saving the world from the Prescaton invasion

returnreturnOn the one hand it scores over the audio version on which it is based by having a larger number of active characters and a wider view of the action On the other hand Pemberton's writing style is absolutely dire with a cringeworthy phrase on almost every page In addition he seems unsure which Doctor he is writing for wit
The good news is that The Pescatons is a way better story than the 1976 LP audio adventure it's based on The bad news is that I'd still rather listen to the LPAt least with the LP I get Tom Baker and Sarah Jane sounding mildly interested With the novel I get a hundred pages of character development that will always fail in comparison to bonus Tom Baker To be fair most written prose fails to come close to bonus
Huge disappointment considering how long it took me to track down a copyThe monsters are cool there's a good setting and a decent attempt to explain where this 'lost adventure' fits into Who continuity but the Do

Not a great outing for Tom Baker His Doctor acts entirely out of character and the plot limps along to a disappointing climax There's probably a reason this one wasn't made into a TV series
