3.0 out of 5 stars The Doctor and Leela take on death personified, December 14, 2000
This review is from: Doctor Who and the Image of the Fendahl (Paperback)
Strangely enough, after the first appearance of K9, the very next story sees him in for repairs (the first of several times!). Instead, we have the Doctor and Leela arrive on present day England after being pulled through a hole in the space-time continuum. This is being caused by a Time Scanner being used to probe the origins of an apparently human skull, but one which is from a time some eight million years before mankind evolved.

There is an ancient power at work, and the Doctor must deal with it to prevent the end of the world...

Chris Boucher is reasonably on form with this story (but not as good as 'Robots of Death') and the adaptation by Terrance Dicks is, while not inspiring, quite reasonable. The main advantage of this story is that some of the special effects in the TV serial were none-too-special.

You may also wish to read this book as background to the eighth Doctor novel, 'The Taking of Planet 5'.
