You simply cant fault this episode. I love his one simply because the Doctor had become slightly darker in his approach and Ace had slightly graver things to worry about like her family and personal events leading up to Survival. The Heamorvores are a spectacular race if not completly terrifying. Commander Millington also brings colour to the spookyness and the tone of the episode and the erriness of the great ash tree and the background knolage is also a plus which ofcourse works in a story like this one.
I simply cant fault this episode, its up there with Terror of the Zygons and Battlefield etc.....

Oh, this episode was a solid one in every sense of the word. I loved the reality of what was going on and the emotions used to demonstrate what it all summed up to and eventually became, a great piece of drama and the book picks up on this really well. The Doctor became a mystique i believed when i read and watched/viewed this episode and was one of the very best episodes of the MCcoy era.
The Gods of Ragnarock are ofcourse something highly orriginal and new and make for a good arcyh enermy even though as much as you do not suspect them in the circus top apart from there occasional squirms made by the younger of the three, they are very powereful and manipulative and terrifying and fit in the story well.
Also, i found the clowns rather creepy! The Doctor and Ace were both thier usual selves and as a Dr Who fan, you must buy both the book and the video, its not to be missed!
this book is good.it remindes me of my hoilday because i got it at the air port . very understanderle.
I wasnt impressed when I read Silver nemesis from start to finish all in one day because in my very own opinion, the televised episode had alot more to offer and the book has its own limitations and restrictions. Though, it is one of my favroutes as a whole and does deserve more credit than has been due. Sylvester Mccoy and Sophie Aldread had alot to offer in that episode and I do believe it was one of the better ones back then!
It was a shame to see her go, it truely was. It was a great way to end her time on the show and though it may seem that to me her departure was a sad one and a very sorry one for the show, she soon reappeared in the new series alongside the 10th doctor. I was glad to see her return and this story is a must for any Dr Who fan around. You must get this if yopu have not already, it truly stands out as one of the very best alongside Robot and the Massacre of Mandragora.
This story i favoured by myself for so many reasons. I love this story because ever since i was little, i have sat through it avidly and listened to it tentativly. I love the fact the daleks despise one another for what Davros has done to them. The settings brill, taking the Doctor back to the school from the Unearthly child. I particularly liked Sylvesters portrayal as the timelord as he was a very dark and mystrious character, i thought. I liked it from beginnig to end and to buy it on DVD would have to be a must for myself because i already have two versions on video and i do not want to ruin my cassetss so it would be great to have on DVD!
Im getting annoyed with what 2 Entertain have to offer at times. I loved the Five Doctors. This story was one of my all time favrouites and i will tell you for why. I am a great fan of John Pertwees Doctor, he always had a certain charm that that i loved about him. Patrick Troughton was comedic and highly entertaining and i also think that the story fitted nicely between Peter Davisons run as the Doctor. Plus, brilliant scenes of the Raston warior who the cybermen clearly had no chance in defeating. The use of the dalek i felt had a huge impact on the 1st Doctor who at times was not hi self but at some times portrayed the character like the original once had. All in all, i enjoyed it and is one that belongs in my collection.
This story resembles one I have watched before. I had long before perchased Horror of Fang Rock and thought it to be fantastci! I must say that this book must be- in some sort of fasion a sequel of sorts. I must admit that Rose comes to life like the Doctor does and that the setting is as believable as any but i felt that the beginning was a tad overwhelming. I loved it though, took me along time to read through but I got there in the end! Fantastic!
Ah, The Sting of the Zygons....Twas an interesting read to say the least. In other words I enjoyed it immensly. I love the use of language and the fact that Marthas skin was mentioned to give the reader some sort of insight into what it was like in those day when people had not known a black person to do niether this nor that, and her reaction to that is as good as any.
The Doctor here is on top form yet again, I do believe the writers have a knack for his character better than Ecclestons. David Tennant is just how the Doctor should be, charismatic, overwhelming at times and generally a know all of whats going on-occasionly.
The charcters are massivly impressive, steven Cole gives each and every one of them one of thier very own back stories that often relate to whats going on. Even the Cows- Suspect them at all costs. (By the way- that may have been a SPOILER!)
The Settings brill, the Zygons are as though they havent changed over the many years and the book itself stands up the television series superbly!
What a fantastic read, i only bought this a couple of days ago and i can tell you, it was worth the cost. The charcters were true to form and the dialougue was brill. The plot became something more in what was made from all the chaos going on but it was true delight.
Marthas amazing, she and the Doctor are on top form here and this only goes to proove that the classic series, mixed with the new series have not changed that much over the years, thats for sure!
You have got to read this book, its a must for any Dr Who fan and would certainly add to your collection, no dought! It certainly sits well amoungst my collection!
this book is griping and very exciting. i hope justin richards'other books are as good

Absolutely brilliant, would love to see what the new series could do with the shape-changing Zygons, should they ever make a televised appearance like the Sontarans from the comic strip medium.

I loved this audio and I think it was completely well realised. Lots of unexpected turns. McCoy was pretty good in this one too.
I'm a huge Dr Who and Torchwood fan, and generally enjoy the spinoff novels. However, this one wasn't so great at all. For one, the Amok storyline was absolutely great, but wasn't the actual plot for this. That kinda threw me a little. Second and most inpactfully, was this "James" guy. Now, I hate Gwen enough as it is for her infidelity, but this was just too much. Even if he is just a red-shirt or an alien imposter, he was just the straw that broke this camel's back. Give me a story where the Torchwood team deals with the Doctor's aftermath anyday.

Excellent book - lots of twists and turns to look out for. The Doctor plays a minor role, so it should appeal to many Sci-Fi readers, who haven't yet latched on to Doctor Who.
You must read this book it is great even if you are not a Dr Who fan
This book is good i liked it.Quiet gripping,If you have this book read it next.....

The Web Planet is a bit odd. On one hand it is a great mixture of new monsters (and a lot of them too!), but on the other it is a poorly put-together piece. Several things instantly spring to mind (i.e. the Zarbi crashing into the camera, and the rubbish Larvi Guns), but overall the world of Vortis is done well.
Overall, The Web Planet is a mixed bag of goodness and rubbish.
The 1st Doctor.Who book I ever read was this The price of paradise. Its brill and 10/10
This is also another 10/10 book. Mike Tuker had improved from The Nightmare on Black Island.
