http://nhw.livejournal.com/1046178.html#cutid8[return][return]A pretty standard retelling of the TV original, without much added or taken away. The story line seemed slightly clearer on paper, but maybe I just was not concentrating sufficiently when I watched it. On the other hand, Dicks does not quite do justice to Sarah Jane's farewell scene.

The last appearence of Sarah Jane Smith and not before time. An 89 page target book with very little plot and definatly no resemblence to anything remotely true.

Sarah Jane Smith is possessed by a silicon hand, which soaks up radiation until it gathers enough power to generate an entire body for itself. The Doctor takes the silicon being back to its home planet--but millenia have passed since it left, and all its old enemies are dead.

Guys I only have two of these left and I will have read every Doctor Who novella I own. It is a miracle haha. 

That aside overall this was a pretty straight forward novelization. The episode it is based on always gives me feels and this, while not as intensely, gave me quite a few feels as well. Sarah Jane will always be one of my top companions. She is just queen.
