In this first adventure
of this third ‘incarnation’, Doctor Who, Liz Shaw and the Brigadier grapple
with the nightmarish invasion of the Autons – living, giant sized, plastic
modelled ‘humans’ with no hair and sightless eyes; waxwork replicas and
tailor’s dummies whose murderous behaviour is directed by the Nestine
Consciousness – a malignant, squid like monster of cosmic proportions and
indescribable hideous appearance.
Welcome to Jon Pertwee’s first story.
Hold on you say, that’s
Spearhead from Space, ahh, but this is Target, where at times stories change
their names. Confused, well as a bairn I
was, so you’re in good company.
Imagine you haven’t seen
the story on TV, if you do this then you will be in for a treat with this
one. It has everything. UNIT, plastic dolls, a slightly crazed Doctor
and the creepiest factory you have ever imagined. Oh don’t forget the squid monster mmm tasty!
Terrance Dicks is in his
element with this book. Maybe he
thought, let’s do the book like we wanted to do the show. The TV episode is very good, always love the
Brigadier and any story which he is in always makes me happy. Liz Shaw, the forerunner of the sexy Martha
Jones, yes they are both very intelligent and very, very sexy. Okay, maybe I have a thing for intelligent
women.
If you have watched the
show then when reading this book you will see them come off the page in front
of you, saying ‘yes, we were good and deserve to be seen as such’.
So do join the Brig, Liz
and the Doctor, on this fun adventure and lose yourself for a few hours, go on,
you know it makes sense.
