Description
Each one has been removed from his time-stream and--with one unfortunate exception--brought to the Death Zone on Gallifrey. There they, along with an array of their loyal former companions, encounter numerous deadly obstacles including Daleks, Cybermen, Yeti, the Master, and a fiendish set of puzzles. Who is the ultimate enemy they must all unite to defeat? Based on Terrance Dicks's epic TV adventure, first broadcast in 1983, The Five Doctors offered readers a chance to turn the clock back and meet some old friends--and some old enemies. Jon Culshaw reads this classic novelization of Doctor Who's special 20th Anniversary TV adventure, featuring the Doctor in each of his first five incarnations.

Fun fluff. Funny double vision about the story - I know that the reason the Fourth Doctor wasn't there was that Tom Baker had - a previous commitment? A contract dispute? Something - there was a reason the actor wasn't available. So the Fourth barely shows up (waaah, he's my doctor!), with in-story

reasons given. And I think about it with double vision - the story reasons and the real-world reasons are both there and both true. Very Doctor Who-ish, actually! The misdirection on the traitor was a little too obvious; the Master's role is rather amusing. It's very interesting seeing more of the various Doctors and their companions - I don't know any of them well. Overall - not much to the story, but as I said, what there is is fun. Show Less
