More Mara,
This review is from: Doctor Who Snakedance (Paperback)
The TARDIS arrives someplace other than when it is supposed to, much to the Doctor's dismay but to the lack of surprise of either Nyssa or Tegan. No one knows where they are, but the Doctor was teaching Tegan how to set the coordinates. Why she set them for Manusa soon becomes plain, as the Mara makes its presence plain. A struggle for Tegan's mind is about to begin...Following on from 'Kinda', 'Snakedance' sees the Mara cast as a threat against a completely different society than that which we saw last time. This is a successful sequel: it retains strengths from the story upon which it is based, but casts it sufficiently differently that you have no risk of mistaking which story is which. Given the mystical/spiritual side to the story, it probably could have done with a more subtle noveliser than Terrance Dicks. Having said that, he does a workmanlike job.

Bad Mr. Snakey!,
This review is from: Doctor Who Snakedance (Paperback)
Not one of Dick's better adaptaions, another author could have fleshed out the story a little better. The charecters are flat and unenjoyable, the Mara is not that scary. Over all a generic sort of Who story.Why does Tegan always seem to cause so much trouble?

Saving the world,
By Bill Huebsch (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who Snakedance (Paperback)
An easier day for the Doctor than usual as he only needs to save one world this time, not the entire universe. A long banished evil, the Mara, plots its return. The Doctor is aided by Nyssa in this one. Tegan is also with the Doctor but through no fault of her own is more of an opponent than an ally.
The Doctor discovers the evil plot and then cannot convince the locals that he is right and they should help him. It always amazes me how the Doctor gets such quick access to the people in power. In this one he regularly makes it to the company of the hier to the title of Federator, ruler of a group of worlds. He also manages to get thrown in jail, as does Nyssa, but they manage to escape. Quite a fun book and a quick read.
