About this listen

 After billions of years of imprisonment, the vicious Sild have broken out of confinement. From a ruined world at the end of time, they make preparations to conquer the past, with the ultimate goal of rewriting history. But to achieve their aims they will need to enslave an intellect greater than their own... On Earth, UNIT is called in to investigate a mysterious incident on a North Sea drilling platform. The Doctor believes something is afoot, and no sooner has the investigation begun than something even stranger takes hold: the Brigadier is starting to forget about UNIT's highest-profile prisoner. And he is not alone in his amnesia. As the Sild invasion begins, the Doctor faces a terrible dilemma. To save the universe, he must save his arch-nemesis... the Master. A complete and unabridged reading by Geoffrey Beevers, with original sound design. Fiction Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction

Critic reviews

Beevers as both narrator and evil genius... is thoroughly believable... He switches easily between the characters and presents an immersive experience of ‘Harvest Of Time’
The audio release uses the vocal talents of Geoffrey Beevers, who played a later incarnation of the Master, and he performs the job with aplomb… Highly recommended.

Imagine 1970s Jon Pertwee-era Doctor Who with all the beloved characters - The Brigadier, Jo Grant, Benton, Mike Yates, the Master - with all of the classic features - Earth-bound scientific mysteries, UNIT hq, endless cups of tea - but with the unlimited wide-screen budget that Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks could only dream about. Put that in the hands of Alastair Reynolds, one of masters of modern science fiction, and the result is a brilliant, imaginative adventure that twists and turns revealing new vistas and wonders along the way. Some reviewers have taken issue with Gerald Flood’s narration - I say fiddlesticks to that! Flood (who played one of the incarnations of the Master during the 4th Doctor’s era -has an instinctive grasp of the material and clearly enjoys his job, making it all that much more enjoyable for the listener. Perfect!

Wonderful 3rd Doctor Adventure

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yeah, if they were a Doctor Who fan.

Any additional comments?

Good story, cleverly written, though probably won't offer much to non-fans of the classic serials. Geoffrey Beevers is very good at the performance.

Good not great

Wish this story could have been done while the actors were still alive you can almost picture every action they would make during this tale. (if you are a pertwee doctor and Delago master fan that is).

3rd doctor story amazing

If you're a fan of Doctor Who, then you'll love this book. The Harvest of Time by Alastair Reynolds is a fantastic addition to the Doctor Who universe. The story follows the Doctor (the John Pertwee version) and Jo Grant as they confront the Sild and the Master. The Doctor must find a way to stop the aliens and save the universe.

The story is well written and the characters are well developed. The Doctor is his usual self, always thinking ahead and trying to save the day. His companions are also well developed and add to the story. The aliens are well developed and their motivations are clear. The story is exciting and well paced. It's a great addition to the Doctor Who universe.

Like a really good Four Part Dr Who Episode
