A review by nwhyte
Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment by Ian Marter

http://nhw.livejournal.com/763482.html[return][return]Marter may well have been tempted to write this from the viewpoint of Harry Sullivan; if so, I think he was wise to restrain himself.[return][return]He both adds and subtracts from the TV show here. He adds some simply superb descriptive passages which one really regrets were not realised on-screen. Harry gets almost an entire chapter to himself exploring the Sontaran spaceship, a passage completely absent from the TV story; and the nightmares inflicted on both Sarah and Harry by the Sontaran experimenter are graphically described as is the fight between the Sontaran and the Doctor.[return][return]Basically, if your attention is suddenly held by the prose in one of Marter's novelisations, it's a fair bet that it's something he added to the original story. Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment makes a below-average DW story into a well-above-average DW novel.
