unmissable

Dark compelling frightening horror superbly read. The Doctor in magnificent form, part 4 is the best part of this tale so far. Battles with beasts and creatures through time and space.

It Stings Good...

The fourth part of Hornet's Nest is building the tension nicely, ready for the finale in part five. This instalment takes the Doctor to a nunnery in the year 1039, to meet the Hornets for the first time. Wonderful cast, great to have Tom Baker back in the Tardis again.
