3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, September 3, 2007

This review is from: Terminus (Doctor Who #79) (Paperback)

Doctor Who - Terminus is part of the overall story of the Black Guardian trying to do not so nice things to the good old Doctor. In this case, the fifth doctor.

This is the middle book of those three.

The TARDIS has been sabotaged, which leaves Nyssa and the Doctor end up on a spaceship, which is en route to a space station called Terminus, supposedly at the centre of the universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really liked it, December 1, 2005

This review is from: Terminus (Doctor Who #79) (Paperback)

This one was just filled with stuff happening. There are three 'real' companions (Tegan, Nyssa and Turlough) and a couple of one off companions (Kari and Olvir). Turlough is not quite the standard companion as his primary mission is not to help the Doctor, but rather to eliminate him. However he and Tegan spend most of the book crawling through the ducts of a plague ship so he is not really a problem. The overall story is a quite fun to read and even though this book is longer than most of the novelizations, it is still a quick fun read.

This review is from: Terminus (Doctor Who #79) (Paperback)

Any time a sci-fi book/movie/show has a "Forbidden Zone" I tend to tune out, and so it is with this Who novel. With no chapters to aim for, this book is 159 endless pages. Why is the Black Guardian story kept as a "B" plot while everyone runs around a spaceship with two people on it? Why do I keep pushing along when I don't care about finishing the book? Do not waist time reading this poor excuse for a New Adventure. Read a classic Target novel, and ignore this story.
