A review by nwhyte
Doctor Who and the Ice Warriors, by Brian Hayles

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1028958.html?#cutid4[return][return]Hayles wrote up his own story here, and did a good job. It may be yet another base under siege, but the people on and off the base all have understandable motivations and reasons for doing what they do. In particular, one feels much more sympathetic to the novel's version of the aggressive Leader Clent than to the original broadcast character. The Ice Warriors are suitably villainous, the Doctor's techno-babble entirely convincing, and the computer itself ends up an interesting character.
