Summary: Pleasing little adventure to introduce the 5th Doctor
Review: Disorientated from his recent regeneration, the Doctor doesn't realise that part of his TARDIS crew is missing. At a loss at what to do, Nyssa and Tegan pilot the TARDIS to Castrovalva, a simplistic world that will help heal the Doctor's confused mental state. The book was good, but it reads like an extended script and doesn't fully capture the state of confusion that the TV adventure did.

Summary: The first Fifth Doctor story
Review: Following on immediately from the Doctor's regeneration at the end of 'Logopolis', the Doctor and his three companions are being approached by the security guards of the Pharos Project, and the Master is also still present. Nyssa and Tegan help the semiconscious Doctor into the TARDIS, but Adric is captured by the Master. The Doctor's regeneration is unstable, and he is placed in the Zero Room, which will assist with his recovery. But the TARDIS is on a new course for the Big Bang, which will destroy it...A satisfactory follow-up to 'Logopolis', with all the companions and the Doctor's new incarnation all with things to do. If I have a complaint, it is that the Master's plot is seemingly too complex. Christopher Bidmead's adaptation of his own script is very good.
