5.0
Another adventure with the fourth Doctor and Sarah. I enjoyed the book despite its short length and laughed at the Doctor's antics while grumbling along with Sarah at his lack of given information.

nwhyte's review
http://nhw.livejournal.com/1046178.html#cutid7[return][return]As with Hinchcliffe's treatment of The Seeds of Doom, we have a much less clownish, dark Doctor, and much more horrific elements in the story - horrible frazzling of the Helix's victims, also the Doctor casually slaying Count Federico's guards. But the other thing that struck me was Sarah's relationship with the Prince - much more romantically presented here than it was on screen, and basically her closest approach to romance in the entire canon, I think. Not an outstanding novelisation but not bad either.
