Sarah Jane Smith and her friend Jamie Fitzoliver investigate a strange New Age cult. Business as usual for investigative journalists. But what is less usual is the demon-like creature the cultists worship. When the Doctor and UNIT arrive to investigate they discover a plot involving government ministers, alien narcotics, and an official cover-up. As an evil scheme develops on a remote island in the Indian Ocean, the Doctor enlists the help of the Royal Navy to investigate. But can the Doctor and his friends uncover the truth in time to avert disaster?

4.0 out of 5 stars
Blast from the Past,
By LilacF (Atlanta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: Island Of Death (Dr Who) (Paperback)
I bought this since I wanted Who. Any Who. I like Jon Pertwee's Doctor well enough but he's not my favorite. This book was a wholly unexpected delight. It had the charm of that era and Barry Letts so perfectly captures the relationship of the Doctor, Sarah, and the Brigadier that you can see and hear them in your imagination. This is one of my favorite depictions of the Brigadier. The plot is not complex but it unfolds with a satisfying pace. Is it just me or is there a Lovecraftian touch to the Skang?

A resounding "meh",

This review is from: Doctor Who: Island Of Death (Dr Who) (Paperback)
"Island of Death" was mostly a disappointment. It does manage to fufill the PDA ideal of feeling like the era it's set in (season 11).... it just feels like the worst things about that era. Mainly, the Doctor's an arrogant childish jerk the first half of the book and there's about 50 pages of pure padding in the middle that killed any feeling of suspense I might've had. Not that there was that much suspense to begin with, it's obvious pretty early on roughly where it's all going, bar a few minor twists.
But on the bright side, I liked the way Letts tried to flesh out Sarah Jane a little (too bad he didn't do it 30 years ago!), and I think he did a decent job with the Brig.
