Leela4 (USA: OR) (2009/12/18):
Past Doctor Adventure (PDA) with the second Doctor. The story is rather a stroll compared to the other two Players books, hence the disappointed reaction from reviewers who expected the three books to form a trilogy simply because they have the same foe. Nevertheless I enjoyed it. Not really one for the newcomer, as there are some devices dating from various books--unless you don't mind some rather wild random elements.
This is one of the author's best-composed books--unusually strong on character, dialogue that at critical points is so well chosen that it doesn't need further characterisation, and a story that continues to hold interest despite that it's really a series of mini-plots chained together. You can really hear the second Doctor in some scenes. The author also does a brilliant job of reminding alert readers about things mentioned earlier without bashing over the head. This one makes me want to read more Terrance Dicks books! The book's only two inherent flaws (which may be major for some readers) are the chained mini-plot structure which doesn't really require much protagonist initiative until the last fifth, and the occasional ambushing with elements from other books.
