Mission to Venus

Doctor Who: Find Your Fate #4

by William Emms

The Doctor is counting on YOU to help win a nerve-wracking game of trust, treachery, and terror in Mission to Venus.

Traveling in the TARDIS, you and the Doctor materialize with a crash in a most unusual place: the belly of an in-flight spaceship. More eerie are the tall glass jars you find there, filled with jelly-like plants that desperately want out... but why?

While the Doctor ponders that question, you meet the crew — a suspicious, vicious, and mutinous lot. Will they reveal the plants' true purpose and the ship's destination? But that may not matter after all — the spaceship has been struck by an enormous meteorite and now you're flying out of control on a collision course with Venus!

There is precious little time for you and the Doctor, and perhaps everyone else. It will be a true test of your ingenuity to avoid becoming galactic statistics as you Find Your Fate.

[Daniel Kukwa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one is just a gift from my childhood. It's no better or no worse, on the face of it, than any of the other Find-Your-Fate books of the mid 80s, but this one I always liked more than the others. I can't entirely explain it -- perhaps it's down to William Emms (the writer of the 1st Doctor story "Galaxy Four") using elements from an unfilmed script as the core of this book. But whatever alchemy it uses, it was just a little bit of joy to an 11 year old Whovian.
