Cover blurb: When Barbara is captured by the Saracens and later kidnapped by the monstrous El Akir, Ian appeals to Richard for help, but despite having achieved a splendid victory over Saladin at Arsuf, the English King has his own troubles and cannot assist him. So Ian sets out to rescue Barbara alone, while the Doctor becomes involved in court intrigues. In a dramatic climax, Ian finds himself fighting for his life in the harsh, cruel world of the twelfth century, where only the cleverest and strongest survive. Readers of Doctor Who’s adventure with the Daleks and Doctor Who and the Zarbi will find here all the excitement that made those books firm favourites with youngsters of all age groups. |
Note: One of only two paperback novelisations published in the UK before the Target range began in 1973. (The other was the 1965 Armada edition of Dr Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks) Cover blurb: Barbara is captured by the Saracens. Adventure piles on adventure as Ian and Dr. Who, in their different ways, attempt to rescue her. This is a book brimful of excitement! |

Note: One of 8 Dutch paperback novelisations, all published in 1974 — the others were: The Auton Invasion, The Cave-Monsters, The Daemons, The Daleks, The Day of the Daleks, The Doomsday Weapon and The Zarbi.

Cover blurb: ‘They’re well-written books — adventure stories, of course, but with some thought... the creation of the character of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it.’ |
Note: Yes, that really is Tom Baker on the cover! White Lion reprinted the 3 original Doctor Who novels in 1975 (the others were The Daleks and The Zarbi) but chose to use a cover illustration of the then-current Doctor to boost their appeal — although the original internal illustrations (featuring the First Doctor) still remain. Cover blurb: Soon the adventurers are embroiled in the conflict between Richard the Lionheart and the Sultan Saladin, lord of the warlike Saracens. And many exciting adventures await them before they can even try to return to their own times. Over all hangs the question: will they succeed in getting back to the Time that they know? Or will they be doomed for ever to be wanderers in Time and Space? |
