Doctor Who and the Cybermen by Gerry Davis
4.0
Doctor Who and the Cybermen is another enjoyable addition to the original range of Target Doctor Who books, although the one I read was the 2011 reprint.
It does suffer a little though - especially since I also read The Tenth Planet this week, and have come to the conclusion that it is essentially the same story. Swap an Arctic Base for a Lunar Base and the first Doctor for the second, and it really is very similar, even down to our heroes managing to temporarily rid the base of the Cybermen about two thirds of the way through the story only to have a load more turn up!
Still very enjoyable, and perhaps if I had not just read Tenth Planet I might have given if four stars, it gets three simply because of lack of originality!
