reviewed Doctor Who and the Green Death on May 27, 2019 Doctor Who and the Green Death
I read this story just to see what the famous old Dr.Who books were really like.
First you must remember that the books were adapted directly from the TV programmes series (not the usual other-way round) and therefore the story and character backgrounds are necessarily light. One can easily detect the TV scene/effects through out the story.
The story surprisingly contains many modern connations. Modern chemical industries closing down traditional industries (in this case coal mining) and dumping toxic waste in which the maggots breed, and all because a 'Hal'-like super-computer thinks it knows best. Mix in a hippy-like 'green' science research colony and a bit of love interest plus the 'Doctor', and naturally good will triumph over bad!
The story is a light, amusing, fast, old fashioned sort of read, aimed at, I would guess, a teenage readership. As an oldie I enjoyed it too. It bought back fond memories of the late 70s~80s. Would I read another? No; but I am glad I read this one.
