Doctor Who retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Minatour, but with um, aliens. More than ten years after reading this book, I still remember my annoyance at the cowardly Athenans. ( )

Since I haven’t seen the television version of Doctor Who and the Horns of Nimon, I’m not sure if this story worked in that medium. It was a failure as a book. Terrance Dicks, the author, has produced some decent novelizations, but he didn’t even attempt to go through the motions with this work.

Sexism was blatant: consider Teka and Seth or Soldeed calling Romana a hussy, seriously a hussy. Perhaps the final over-the-top moment came with the destruction of the Nimon. The Doctor indicated that their end was a “good riddance!” Seriously, he couldn’t bring himself to destroy the Daleks, but he was happy about the end of the Nimon, an absurdly silly species that might have evolved from something similar to a buffalo. I’m glad this book was short because the story was dreadful. ( )

This was a fairly blah story on screen, and Dicks has not managed to make it any more interesting on the printed page. ( )
