City at World's End (Dr. Who Series)

Rating:
Summary: WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE... TIME AND AGAIN
Review: We've seen the story before, but despite covering old ground, this book in the continuing adventures of DOCTOR WHO is worth picking up. The story features the first Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan all of whom land in a city that is dominated by a large spacecraft and is not what it seems to be (shades of STATE OF DECAY). There's a mystery afoot, and to keep our hero's around to solve the problem the writer throws the book at them... the building the land on is blown out from under them, Barbara is trapped underneath, Susan is tossed into a coma, the Doctor and Ian worry, party and look for the TARDIS key which has once again been lost. All in all... a true blue Doctor Who adventure. The only real complaint I can level at this story is that the main characters are simply run through their paces... little or no advancement in their relationship is brought forward, and Barbara seems to be put through the worst of it... she is literally knocked out in this book, so much so I felt it bordered on attempted murder by the author. Despite the gaps, it is a fast and fine read and worth picking up.
