2.0 out of 5 stars
Too rushed?,
This review is from: Doctor Who and the Power of Kroll (Paperback)
The TARDIS arrives on a moon of Delta Magna, and the Doctor and Romana set off to find the fifth segment through the swamp, leaving K9 behind. But the actual location of the segment is vague - the tracer gives a reading over a wide arc. Their attempts to locate the segment are complicated by the situation on the moon: a gas refinery is harvesting the swamp's output, but is under siege from the Swampies, the original inhabitants of Delta Magna who have been relocated to this moon. Rumours of the arrival of gunrunner Rohm Dutt are causing much tension...The fifth story in the Key of Time sequence is a bit of a mixed bag. Originally written by Robert Holmes, one of the best writers in the series' history, it shows every sign of being a rather rushed job. Interestingly, the bare bones of this story were later reused by Mr. Holmes in the last Peter Davison Doctor Who story, 'The Caves of Androzani', to much better effect. Readers of this book are spared some of the poor (so-called) special effects that plague the video production of the story, however the adaptation by Terrance Dicks doesn't help rise this story out of its own mire.
