Description
Geoffrey Beevers reads an exciting novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor. The Doctor and Sarah arrive safely back on Earth - or do they? Why does the mysterious soldier march straight over a cliff, and then reappear unharmed? Why are they attacked by sinister mechanics with built-in guns for hands? Why is a picturesque country village at first deserted, then filled with mindless zombies? And why are the Doctor and Sarah's best friends trying to kill them? Will they be show more in time to defeat the deadly Kraals and their terrifying android invasion of Earth? Geoffrey Beevers, who played the Master in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks's novelisation of the 1975 TV serial by Terry Nation.

A good episode. The great thing about reading the book is the special fx are not a barrier anymore. I love Sarah Jane Smith. The first female companion with any agency. She acts of her own accord and is many times saving The Doctor. Worth a read and should only take you an hour or two.
3.25 rating. The doctor and Sarah have to save earth from the Kraals. the Kraals have created android replicas of the army base. they want to destroy the world. The Doctor and Sarah have to find a way to stop them.

Alas, this was a case where the novelisation exposes the flaws of the original story a bit more; no longer distracted by the visuals of working out who is who, the incoherency of the Kraals' plan to Konkwer Erth is much more difficult to ignore.
