Description
Nicholas Briggs reads this exciting novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor. A mysterious plague strikes Space Beacon Nerva, killing its victims within minutes. When the Doctor lands, only four humans remain alive. One of these seems to be in league with the nearby planet of gold, Voga... Or is he in fact working for the dreaded Cybermen, who are now determined to finally destroy their old enemies, the Vogans? The Doctor, Sarah and Harry find themselves trapped in the show more midst of a terrifying struggle to the death - between the ruthless, power-hungry Cybermen and the desperate, determined Vogans. Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Cybermen in the hit BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks's 1976 novelisation of a TV serial by Gerry Davis. Duration: 3 hours 20 mins approx.

Again, one of those cases where Dicks has taken a so-so story and made it into a good read. Partly this is because of good scene-setting; partly also that he is liberated from the constraints of poor special effects; mainly that he seems to have been having fun with the script. I remembered this one fondly from my childhood, and for once it lived up to my memories.
