The survivors of a devastated future Earth lie in suspended animation on a great satellite. When Earth is safe again, they will awaken. But when the Doctor, Sarah, and Harry arrive on the Terra Nova, they find the systems have failed and the humans never woke. The Wirrrn Queen has infiltrated the satellite, and laid her eggs inside one of the sleepers. As the first of the humans wake, they face an attack by the emerging Wirrrn. But not everyone is what they seem, and the only way the Doctor can discover the truth is by joining with the dead mind of the Wirrrn Queen. The price of failure is the Doctor's death, and the end of humanity! Featuring the Fourth Doctor as played by Tom Baker, and his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan, this novel is based on a Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from January 25-February 15, 1975.

Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (Paperback)
The Doctor heads into space with Sarah Jane Smith, and is also accompanied by Harry Sullivan, a doctor who works with UNIT.
What they find is a space station of sorts, and it at first appears to be deserted. That is, until the find the large monstrous alien, and the humans in suspended animation. Many frozen dinners to be had.

Doctor Who does 'Alien' before Ridley Scott,
This review is from: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (Paperback)
The fourth Doctor's first trip into time and space, and he is accompanied by the wonderful Sarah Jane Smith and new companion Harry Sullivan, UNIT's medical officer. Coincidentally, Robert Holmes' wonderful script is adapted by Ian Marter, who played Harry.The TARDIS materialises in an apparently abandoned space station in the far future. As they explore, they find that humanity has put itself into cryogenic suspension. But they have an unwelcome visitor, in the form of a giant insect from a race known as the Wirrn (or Wirrrn, as Mr. Marter chooses to render the name). And the Wirrrn see the Ark as a larder... A great story on TV, the novel captures its feel very well. Very much worth your while.
