Antimatter in Amsterdam,
This review is from: Doctor Who: Arc of Infinity (Mass Market Paperback)
This Target book is a novelization of the Doctor Who serial "Arc of Infinity", which was first broadcast in 1983. This book was published the same year and features the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan.
The Doctor, after repairing the audio for the TARDIS monitor, is attacked by an antimatter being. It seems it was trying to merge with him, which means trouble, because matter and antimatter coming into contact would lead to serious destruction. The Time Lords find out about this and force the TARDIS back to Gallifrey, where they plan on killing the Doctor and severing the link with the antimatter being. They soon discover this is all part of somebody's plan, someone the Doctor has encountered before... Meanwhile, on Amsterdam, a pair of travellers encounter something horrible in the crypt of a mansion... For me, it was a very quick read, and Terrance Dicks describes the story well. I really would like to watch the TV version to see the ending, which I enjoyed most of all. There's a little too much pondering about on Gallifrey for my liking, but it's all right. It's a reasonable addition to any Doctor Who book collection.

Good adaption, decent story, hooray!,
This review is from: Doctor Who: Arc of Infinity (Mass Market Paperback)
A good old Target Novel. I love how quick everyone is to kill the Doctor in the "enlightened" society that is Gallifrey. I hate to admit it, but the best part is the last bit. A chase around Amsterdam between the Doctor and Omega in the style of Benny Hill finishes this literary masterpiece. Chalk another one up for Terry Dicks!

Evil Time Lord,
By Bill Huebsch (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: Arc of Infinity (Mass Market Paperback)
Next up in the never ending stream of evil doers who wish to conquer the universe is none other than a Time Lord. The Doctor must again save the day, and he has Nyssa as his companion in this one. Tegan, a prior companion also makes an appearance and at the end it seems as though she will also be again joining the Doctor in his travels.
The Doctor finds himself summoned to Gallifrey and sentenced to death for a crime he had nothing to do with. After getting that little problem taken care of, he must stop a banished Time Lord from stealing the Matrix. All in a days work I guess when you are the Doctor. A well paced book and a quick read.
