The Spear of Destiny by Marcus Sedgwick
3.0

Meh. Not horrible, not great. I'm not as familiar with the Third Doctor, but characterization seemed okay, and a lot of Three's signature things were tossed in as quick references (Bessie! terrible sartorial choices! etc.). The plot had interesting elements (e.g., Norse gods as RL Vikings) but none of them were really explored much, let alone resolved. Like, a bunch of stuff is just thrown in briefly before the Doctor races on to the next thing.
