2.0 out of 5 stars
A story that doesn't stand the test of time,
This review is from: Galaxy Four (Doctor Who #104) (Paperback)
William Emms adapts his own script in this novelisation.The fundamental message of this story is that "beauty is only skin deep". The TARDIS arrives on an unnamed planet, where they have an odd encounter with a robot, named by Vicki as a Chumbly, before being captured by abgroup oif female warriors known as the Drahvins. The Drahvins claim that the planet will self-destruct in a few days time, and seek the assistance of the TARDIS crew in defeating another downed spacecarft of aliens, the Rills, who have managed to repair their ship. They prompt the travelklers by holding one of them hostage against the success of the mission. While casting good-looking women as villains may have not been very copmmon in 1965, it is so old hat by now that what may have been surprises when the show was broadcast will surprise no one these days. This is not greatly assisted by William Emms uninspiring adaptation.
