Doctor Who And The Space War

By: Malcolm Hulke

Narrated by: Geoffrey Beevers

‘Doctor!’ screamed Jo. ‘Look at that thing. It’s coming straight at us!’ A small, black spaceship, about a mile away, was approaching rapidly. It had no lights, no markings. But some instinct told Jo that the tiny craft meant danger. The year is 2540, and two powers loom large in the Galaxy - Earth and Draconia. After years of peace, their spaceships are now being mysteriously attacked and cargoes rifled. Each suspects the other and full-scale war seems unavoidable.The Doctor, accused of being a Draconian spy, is thrown into prison. And only when the Master appears on the scene do things really begin to move... Geoffrey Beevers, who played an incarnation of the Master in the classic BBC TV Doctor Who series, reads Malcolm Hulke’s complete and unabridged novelisation, based on the TV adventure 'Frontier in Space' and first published by Target Books in 1976. ‘BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers... they benefit from new music and sound effects’ - Doctor Who Magazine©1976 Malcolm Hulke; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

nice read but, prefer fullcast recordings

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I could recommend this book. It is a nice Doctor Who story. Quite enjoyable. But, I like almost anything Doctor Who. The story line was in character with Doctor Who stories. The villins were well done . I never expected who the real villin was.

Would you recommend Doctor Who and the Space War to your friends? Why or why not?

Overall I would recommend it. It is a pretty well developed Doctor Who story.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Geoffrey Beevers?

If I found the premise interesting enough, yes I would.

Do you think Doctor Who and the Space War needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not really. I very seldom find follow-up books to be as interesting as the original book,
