Story
An unabridged reading of this classic novelisation of a 1968 TV adventure featuring the Second Doctor, as played on screen by Patrick Troughton. For 40 years the Yeti had been quiet, a collector's item in a museum. Then, without warning, it awoke and savagely murdered. At about the same time, patches of mist began to appear in Central London. People who lingered in the mist were found dead, their faces smothered in cobwebs. The cobweb seeped down, penetrating the Underground System.

Before the Terminator...
The recently late, great Terrence Dicks wrote fast paced adaptions of Who scripts that lacked the world building and depth of, say, Malcom Hulke's novelisations but worked like espresso's; short, speedy hits that got Who quickly into the bloodstream. This is no exception, a pre-Terminator take on homicidal robots going back to the past to ensure history goes their way, fought by small bands of human resistance fighters.
The third Doctor and Jo are called in to address a confused sighting of Ghosts by prominent politician Reginald Styles, who is about to hold a conference of world leaders to hopefully avoid world war 3. This 'ghost' is a time travelling resistance fighter erroneously believing that Styles caused world war 3 (spoiler, he didn't) and so eliminating mutually assured destruction at source. But said guerrilla's time travelling tech is wonky so he shimmers out before he can do the deed. But the Daleks want this to happen so they can later take over the Earth in its weakened post apocalypse state.
The Doctor and Jo get pulled into this grim future where they find a Dalek subjugated humanity, where the Daleks' rule helped by a slave hierarchy of humans. At the top of the slave caste is a controller, who is one of the most satisfying characters in the book. His barely repressed self-loathing and journey to redemption is a satisfying character act to follow. The rest is pretty much by the numbers.
Richard Frankilin (Who's Mike Yates) clearly enjoys narrating this tale and his enjoyment and love for Who is infectious. His voice is full of glee at times, and you have to love him for it. Stranger is his odd slurring of his third Doctor's lines and his Jo can be jarring and shrill indeed, and then there is the Controller's comedy German accent. But all told his reading remains a delight.

Who doesn’t like Dr Who?!
Loved this. Great book that took me back to my younger days when I read all the Dr Who books in the town library. I’ll be getting more, for sure!
