This is my first time reading one of these target book novelizations of a classic doctor who TV story, I sought this one out as my first because its one of the partially missing classic TV stories, and honestly this was a very good read overall!
For a 1960s doctor who book using the middle east during the times of the crusades/the middle ages as its setting its handled with way more tact and lines of moral grayness from both sides of said conflict then one might think!
Sure you could argue that a lot of the stuff the doctor's companion Barbara goes through in this book can come off as a bit sexist or of its time in how she is written but other then that I found it could have been much worse given the possible pit falls this could have given the time period it is set in!
I for sure will read more of these target books novelizations in the near future!
