Book Description

Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)
The Cybermen are back to terrorize time and space - but luckily the new Doctor, played by David Tennant, and Rose are back to stop them. Picking up where Monsters and Villains left off, this fully illustrated guide documents the return of these metal menaces, as well as the Sycorax and other foes from the new series, plus first series terrors like the Gelth and the Reapers. More classic baddies such as the Celestial Toymaker, Sutekh and the Robots of Death also make a welcome appearance.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy and pleasant read, July 4, 2006

This review is from: Doctor Who: Aliens And Enemies (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
This book picks up where Monsters and Villains leaves off, placing even more Doctor Who monsters at your fingertips. There are plenty of photos to aid the text. In fact, you can almost reverse that to state that the text aids the bright, colorful photos. The book reads like an encyclopedia, containing monsters and aliens in alphabetical order from the new series, such as the Gelth, the Empty Child, and the new fiercer looking Cybermen, as well as classic villains, like Sutekh, the Axons, the Daemons, and the Seaweed Monster from Fury From The Deep. The text contains a plot synopsis from each story the monsters appear in, plus sidebars of various aspects and characters from each story. There are even descriptions of how the production team created certain monsters.

Did I mention the photos? While the text is very informative, the photos are the gem of this book. Color stills from each story and background shot of the production team hard at work feature heavily in this volume. This is a definite must-have for die-hard Doctor Who fans, as well as new fans who are just learning about the classic series. However, make sure you purchase Monsters and Villains as well. These two books go hand-in-hand. If you just have one, you'll be missing out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Monsters, November 3, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Doctor Who: Aliens And Enemies (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
I'll be honest -- this book is fluff for the most part. Simple summaries of some of the characters significant (Cybermen) and insignificant (Zarbi) that have graced our TV screens as part of the Whoverse.

However it is beautifully put together with clear pictures from the show and the addition of production art and design sketches is very welcome.

Pure candy and quite excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Must" For a Doctor Who Collector, October 16, 2010
By 
Roger & Cyndy Wilber (Ravena, New York, US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doctor Who: Aliens And Enemies (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
Doctor Who: Aliens and Enemies is considered a paperback. The cover stock is at least fairly firm so it should hold up. The glossy pages cover all of the aliens and enemies from the first doctor right up to David Tennant. The pictures are not only in color, but describe different aspects of the creatures. Some of the creatures are described in depth (such as the Clockwork Robots from the "Girl in the Fireplace" episode). Another episode that is described in depth is "The Christmas Invasion", which shows how the Sycorax were created showing their bone-like face. Although there is more information regarding the ninth and tenth doctors than there is with the others, this is still a good reference tool for the serious Doctor Who collector. Some of these pages are also included in "Doctor Who: The Ultimate Monster Guide", 2009.
