2.0 out of 5 stars Worst Cybermen story ever, December 14, 2000
This review is from: Doctor Who: And the Revenge of the Cybermen (Paperback)
Returning to Nerva Beacon from Skaro (in 'Genesis of the Daleks') to rejoin the TARDIS, the Doctor, Sarah and Harry arrive some 1000 years earlier than when they left. Nerva Beacon is still in its original function, a space beacon advising approaching ships of a new asteroid, Voga, that is not reordered on all star charts.

But all is not well: a mysterious plague is striking down the crew and the exographer who is surveying Voga is acting suspiciously. And lurking out in space are the Cybermen...

The first appearance of the Cybermen in 7 years, and sadly a very poor story. In the broad, the story sounds fine, but (as the saying goes) the devil is in the detail. Poor motivation, the most emotional non-emotional cyborgs, and an unlikely method of disposing of them add up to make this story quite dreadful.

How bad is it? It was another 7 years before the Cybermen returned...

3.0 out of 5 stars Harry Sullivan is an 'idiot'?????, May 17, 2002
By 
Daniel Firli (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: And the Revenge of the Cybermen (Paperback)
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry arrive back on the ark (from the Ark in Space) only to find they have arrived 1000 years too early. They encounter an ark full of dead bodies and soon find themselves caught up in a Cyberman plot to destroy the 'planet of gold', Voga.

Being an adaptation of the serial, the book is exactly the same. Two annoying inconsistencies are the Cybermen using guns in the book whereas the tv serial had their guns inbuilt into their heads and the other is the portrayal of the Cybermats as the small silverfish looking Cyber killers (as seen in The Wheel In Space and Tomb of the Cybermen), whereas in the serial they look like metal eels.

I would recommend watching the video rather than reading this book, you will get more out of it.
