A review by ianbanks
Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion, by Terrance Dicks

4.0

Ah, if only the quality of the Target novelisations could have kept this up. Mr Dicks adds a lot of detail and background to make it feel like a “proper” novel but it does still feel a little bare on the important details: we don’t really get a decent description of the Brigadier or Liz or many other characters but we do get a proper look into their characters which are fleshed out wonderfully. Dicks also recaps the conclusion of The War Games to give us an explanation for why the Doctor is on Earth in the first place. It’s quite gripping, just a little threadbare on some details.
