Classic Tom Baker

As a 1970 Tom Baker fan this is a great story.
Made even better read by the man himself.

Rodlees review

As a 40 something this is my favourite Dr Who story by far. Starring and read by the great Tom Baker the Doctor encounters the enemy who in my opinion is the greatest foe he has ever faced. A 'god' capable of destroying worlds - just by thought, could the Daleks do that ?? A being capable of destroying the cosmos... The doctor wins ( of course) but its close. A well written story incorporating a plausable ( as far as these things go ) situation. Those with a scientific background will particularly enjoy this book.

Mummy issues for the Doctor

Not those kinds of mummy issues … from the title you might guess at the Doctor’s bandage-clad foes in this classic, zany adventure - which imagines that the gods worshipped by ancient Egyptians were in reality powerful aliens. One of those deities was imprisoned by an adversary - and is now threatening to break free, endangering the universe. It’s bonkers - but brilliant. Tom Baker reads it beautifully - and the sound effects are spot-on. This is a wonderful slice of nostalgia. It was screened back in 1975 and the novelisation was published the following year. If you like this or are keen for more, try The Brain of Morbius, another horror-themed Who, also read by Baker.

His best narrated by the best!

What made the experience of listening to Doctor Who and the Pyramids of Mars the most enjoyable?

What more could you ask for? The legendary Tom Baker narrating the novelisation of his most popular story. Tom's unique voice puts you right in the story and you can picture yourself watching it all over again. Terrance Dicks is at his usual best to recreate the story both faithfully and vividly.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I must admit that I loved the 'alternative time' scene showing what would happen if the Doctor and Sarah decided to up and leave before they stopped Sutekh

Any additional comments?

This is definitely one of the best stories and to have it read to you by the best Doctor (for me anyway) certainly makes it a fantastic experience. Thoroughly recommended!

Fan of Tom Baker’s narration

I always try to get the best value from my credits and this is a little shorter than I usually think is worth it. I know some of the Dr who books on audible are split up into chapters which is completely unreasonable as you’d have to spend 4 or 5 credits for the full book. Thankfully this isn’t one of those and is a complete story so worth it for me as I am a fan of Tom Baker’s narration when it comes to Dr Who stories. The story is good and worth the credit in my opinion, If still on the somewhat short side for the equivalent of £7ish

Fantastic reading of a classic serial

This audiobook is simply put brilliant. It was so great to hear Tom Baker reading my favourite story of doctor who. It’s not too long and his reading keeps your attention. Recommended for anyone who loves the original series of doctor who or someone who wants to see why the original series were so good.

The mellifluous tones of Tom Baker bring to life a classic Target novelization. An excellent story for the car.
