Simple but fun

The fourth doctor's advantures always seem to involve more fun then other doctors. Don't know if this flows from them being written with Tom Baker in mind or if it's just a coincidence. This is another fun one. Nothing too complicated (although of course the Doctor saves the Earth again), but an entertaining read. The Doctor is assisted quite well by Sarah in this one as they blunder into and attempt to foil a plot to conquer the Earth by the evil Kraal's. Not a complicated plot but a quick read and pretty enjoyable. Do not expect lots of character development or deep thoughts, just read it for fun. Enjoy!

A good novelization of a classic story

"The Android Invasion" was one of the classic Tom Baker stories from the BBC-TV days. While the climax didn't quite take off, the opening was quite memorable. The Target novelization does a fine job in creating the flavor fo feel of the old story, and has the advantage of not being hampered by sub-par special effects ;-). No hard-core Who fan should be without it.
