Doctor Who and the Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1994)
http://nhw.livejournal.com/1038662.html#cutid2[return][return]I am not sure if this is the best of the Season 11 novels, as Doctor Who and the Planet of the Spiders clearly takes that trophy, but it is certainly the most interesting.

Doctor Who: Galaxy Four (1986)
While a lot of Doctor Who fans would love to see "Marco Polo" or "The Tenth Planet" returned complete to the archives, I have to admit part of me would like to the chance to see the long-lost season-three premiere story "Galaxy Four." A lot of that credit goes to fond memories of this novelizati...

A thoroughly silly First Doctor adventure, one of his "history" stories.

Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doom (1977)
This book on the other hand was not so good! Season 12 of Doctor Who is one of my favourites. I really love all the episodes. With the exception of Loch Ness I think season 13 is much less impressive! I hadn't actually seen this episode when I started reading the book. I thought it started well, ...

Doctor Who and the Masque of Mandragora (1989)
This was a little ambitious for such a small book. I have read 600 page books with less complex narratives. But isn't that expected of Doctor Who and the BBC? They are tiny compared to the goliaths of American television. So actually the story did not let it down. It was the quality of the writin...

Doctor Who: Black Orchid (1987)
When I first read Terrence Dudley's novelization of his two-part "Doctor Who" story more years ago than I care to count, I was struck by how Dudley took a simple, two-part story and added something to it. In many ways, "Black Orchid" as a novelizations as pre-cursor to what the Target range woul...
