isabellarobinson7's review against another edition

Rating: 2 stars
Eh. This book was ok. Turlough was the only one doing interesting stuff for once. But he was still being captured, as he always seems to be. This quote was funny though:
A very Doctor-y quote. Well done. Oh, this one was good too:
I love any and all references to Tegan’s Aussie-ness.

" 'And Turlough?' [...]
'He was sent to kill me. I greatly admired that!' "
A very Doctor-y quote. Well done. Oh, this one was good too:
“ 'Strange girl,' said Paynter.
‘I like her,’ replied Milligan. ‘She's got spunk.'
‘Yeah, but she's an Australian,’ noted Paynter, as if that was a crime in itself. ‘London bars are full of them. Big mouths and smelly shoes.’ “
I love any and all references to Tegan’s Aussie-ness.
nwhyte's review against another edition
"http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1335947.html?#cutid1[return][return]I am relieved to report that King of Terror is the best Doctor Who book I have read by Keith Topping. This is faint praise, because I really did not like either Byzantium! or Ghost Ship. The prose style seemed a bit more under control here, though it still isn't a very good book: lots of gratuitous violence, rather improbable scenes not quite involving sex (separately) for Tegan and Turlough, and peculiar unexplained irrelevancies like the Doctor's dislike of the CIA, and Tegan's future marriage to the rock-star son of Ian and Barbara. One to skip."
