nwhyte's review against another edition
http://nhw.livejournal.com/1037395.html#cutid7[return][return]I was getting a bit worried about Malcolm Hulke after the disappointments of Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon and Doctor Who and the Sea Devils, but this was a welcome return to form; the slightly odd politics of the human and Draconian governments seem a bit less improbable on the page, and everyone is given decently believable motivations. The one slightly odd thing is that the ending just has the Master tidying up his desk, rather than shooting the Doctor. I suppose this was a quiet tribute to Roger Delgado.

This takes a while to get going but builds up to an interesting conclusion. Of course the story continues into Planet of the Daleks so things aren't really concluded. The Master is enjoyably mischievous and sardonically funny trying to work with the particularly stupid Ogrons.
