Description
In this exciting unabridged reading of a Doctor Who novelization, first published by Target Books in 1988, the Doctor and his companions are trapped inside the TARDIS as it hurtles through Time and Space. Slowly a terrifying suspicion dawns. Has the TARDIS become the prisoner of some powerful fifth intelligence?Tags

The Edge of Destruction is one of my favorite stories of the First Doctor era and this novelization of it... was fine. I do prefer Target novelizations that add to and fill out stories a bit more, like the modern series ones do. This was a pretty beat for beat transcription with maybe an extra scene or so of exploring the TARDIS but nothing that added materially to the narrative.

Robinson has taken a two-episode story and padded it out with some interesting new material of Ian and Barbara exploring the depths of the Tardis. Unfortunately, Robinson's own prose style is thunderously bad in places. For completists only.

I think I was a little unfair in my first reading. Robinson is not a fluid writer, but I’ve certainly read much worse, including much worse Doctor Who books.
