The evil Master leered at the Doctor, and triumphantly pointed out of the cabin window. The many-tentacled Nestene monster — spearhead of the second Auton invasion of Earth — crouched beside the radio tower!

Part crab, part spider, part octopus, its single huge eye blazed with alien intelligence and deadly hatred...

Can the Doctor outwit his rival Time Lord, the Master, and save the Earth from the Nestene horror?

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1033342.html?#cutid1[return][return]This is one of Dicks' better efforts - introducing three new regular characters (Jo Grant and the Master both get good introductions here, Mike Yates rather less so) and bringing back the Autons. The Doctor is an inveterate name-dropper, and basically more fun than the character as actually played by Pertwee. It is a very rare case of Dicks actually improving on a Robert Holmes script - certainly when I eventually saw the original TV

A very enjoyable story that introduces the Master. As expected the novel has a few differences to the televised story but nothing that grates and some which add to the tale. I particularly liked this final quote -"You know, Doctor," said Jo suddenly, "I think you've got a sort of sneaking liking for him."The Doctor looked indignant. "Like him? I can't stand the fellow. He's ruthless. Depraved. Totally evil. In fact, a thoroughly bad lot. Only...""Only what, Doctor?"The Doctor looked a little

Since this story was introducing a new companion ( JO Grant) and a new villain ( The Master) the writers decided to hedge their bet, by having an old monster return. The Auton's are even creepier in this story and this version of the Master just serves as a reminder that all the versions that followed were pretty watered down and weak.Good solid story that gives everybody something to do and establishes the Doctor/Master relationship.

Another early, old-school, Terrance Dicks classic. He takes Robert Holmes lovely dark-and-twisted version of Doctor Who and translates it exceptionally well into prose. It also comes with one of my all-time-favourite book covers (second edition, natch)...now THAT is a DW monster!

As much as I enjoy the grittiness of Pertwees first season, this story really is the start of the quintessential Third Doctor era.The UNIT family feels fully formed with not only the introduction of Jo Grant as The Doctors new companion, we also get Mike Yates too!And not forgetting The Doctors rival in The Master!Dicks wonderful novelisation moves along at a brisk pace and really cements the relationship of all the new characters together, whilst keeping all the scares in Robert Holmes original

I like first episodes, and this gives us several firsts ... first appearance by The Master, the best Doctor Who villain, and Jo Grant, who wasn't one of my favorite companions. The Autons are only mildly menacing in comparison to their appearance in Spearhead from Space. The story is chock full of action, and the story moves swiftly.

A very good story, well narrated, there's more to it then the televised version. Some cracking sound effects, and when Geoffrey Beevers reads the part where the Master is hypnotising someone his voice is electronically altered, it's almost as if the listener is being hypnotised too.
