Doctor Who: Terminus: 5th Doctor Novelisation

By John Lydecker

Book Overview

Steven Pacey reads this suspenseful novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fifth Doctor. When the TARDIS is sabotaged and becomes dimensionally unstable, its internal fabric begins to dissolve, and Nyssa is drawn into a junction with a strangely deserted spacecraft.

The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough follow in pursuit, and discover the shocking purpose of Terminus. The Doctor forms an uneasy alliance with two space pirates, whilst Tegan and Turlough become frighteningly enmeshed in the spaceship's infrastructure.

For Nyssa, meanwhile, the nature of a sudden illness which engulfs her will have life changing consequences.

Steven Pacey reads Stephen Gallagher's novelisation of his 1983 TV serial featuring the Fifth Doctor, as played on screen by Peter Davison.

Customer Reviews

I really liked it

This one was just filled with stuff happening. There are three 'real' companions (Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough) and a couple of one off companions (Kari and Olvir). Turlough is not quite the standard companion as his primary mission is not to help the Doctor, but rather to eliminate him. However he and Tegan spend most of the book crawling through the ducts of a plague ship so he is not really a problem. The overall story is a quite fun to read and even though this book is longer than most of the novelizations, it is still a quick fun read.
