Third Doctor, Sarah, UNIT. Novelisation of 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs' with some added details and scenes. One of the particularly memorable novelisations, and a good choice for someone unacquainted with Doctor Who. A catchy idea (London is deserted because of randomly appearing dinosaurs) disguising a thematic study of people's blind spots. The author offers no solutions, only consequences, and therein lies the drama. Only the Doctor emerges unscathed (and Benton, if you're looking for him

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1038662.html#cutid2[return][return]I am not sure if this is the best of the Season 11 novels, as Doctor Who and the Planet of the Spiders clearly takes that trophy, but it is certainly the most interesting.

Another fantastic Malcolm Hulke novelization...this time of his final script contribution to "Doctor Who". Freed from the filler required for the over-long pace of six episodes, and spared the blight of the horrific SFX of the TV version, Hulke crafts another concise-yet-spellbinding morality play. The revised conclusion makes as interesting a statement about alternate POVs as you'll ever find in a Target novel.

Harlan's introduction was the best part of the book. The rest of it is strictly for hard-core fans who lived in the days before VCRs and DVD players were commonplace. Take the performance part out of Doctor Who, and the fun takes a serious hit.

ONe of the Who books that improves on the TV episode, as it isn't hampered by a cheap special effects budget.
The Doctor and JO Grant return to modern day London to find the people are gone and dinosaurs are roaming the streets.

I recently started to read Dr. Who books. They aren't the greatest written books, but like a lot of science fiction, they are creative.
