3.0 out of 5 stars
Let's do the mindwarp again,
This review is from: Doctor Who: Trial of a Time Lord : Mindwarp (Target Doctor Who Library) (Paperback)
The second part of 'The Trial of a Time Lord', which means you should be looking to ensure you have the rest (that's 'The Mysterious Planet', 'Terror of the Vervoids' and 'The Ultimate Foe'). There is an overarching storyline that continues and develops the four and the whole makes more sense together.The first part told a tale of the Doctor's past; this time, we get to see the adventure in which the Doctor was involved when he was taken out of his timestream to be put on trial. This story, featuring the return of the popular Sil from 'Vengeance on Varos', is more a typical Sixth Doctor story - a tale of body horror, extreme personalities and the Doctor in conflict with his companion. And it answers the question of exactly why Peri isn't at the Doctor's trial... (Or does it?) In this segment, the interaction between the trial storyline and the main storyline (which is being presented as evidence) becomes stronger. While this helps to draw the overall story together, it does detract a it from the individual segment. Philip Martin writes good and original stories (the under-developed 'Mission to Magnus' aside), and this one is probably a little poorly served by the overarching trial story. Some of the elements are not resolved until the end of the trial, and re-reading this book may assist you in understanding the whole. |
