Doctor Who and the Time Warrior is an example of a run of the mill story with no particular thing to recommend or disrecommend it - barring a like or dislike for ranting Sontaran authority figures, of course.

As the title suggests, and time travel plot with him and of course someone smart enough to actually pull off the time travel part , too.

Somehow despite the apparently favourable conjunction of DW's most prolific TV script writer (Robert Holmes) and the most prolific novelisation writer (Dicks), it rarely seems to gel, and this is a typical example: an unexceptional Dicks novelisation of a decent Holmes script. The Sontaran commander Linx (rather than Lynx) and the myopic Professor Rubeish both get a little more characterisation, but it's otherwise standard stuff.

It is interesting that both this and the next story are about the bad guys shunting people between the present and the past. ( )
