Colin Baker
reads this thrilling novelisation of a classic Doctor Who adventure, his debut
as the Sixth Doctor. The Doctor has regenerated, having sacrificed his fifth
persona to save Peri’s life. But things are not going well...
On this occasion the process of regeneration is by no means smooth, for the
even-tempered, good-humoured Fifth Doctor has given way to a rather disturbed
and unsettled successor. In a particularly irascible moment the new Doctor comes
dangerously close to committing a shocking crime. Overwhelmed with guilt for his
violent behaviour, the repentant Time Lord decides to become a hermit...
Colin Baker reads Eric Saward’s complete and unabridged novelisation, first
published by Target Books in 1986.

creator Davros!
But while Flip and the fugitive Doctor struggle to beat back the Daleks'

The Foe from the Future
The Grange is haunted, so they say. This stately home in the depths of Devon has
been the site of many an apparition. And now people are turning up dead. The
ghosts are wild in the forest. But the Doctor doesn’t believe in ghosts.
The TARDIS follows a twist in the vortex to the village of Staffham in 1977 and
discovers something is very wrong with time. But spectral highwaymen and
cavaliers are the least of the Doctor’s worries.
For the Grange is owned by the sinister Jalnik, and Jalnik has a scheme two
thousand years in the making. Only the Doctor and Leela stand between him and
the destruction of history itself. It’s the biggest adventure of their lives –
but do they have the time?
This story takes place between The Robots of Death and
The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
The Valley of Death
A century after his Great-Grandfather Cornelius vanished in the Amazon
rainforest, Edward Perkins is journeying to the depths of the jungle to find out
what became of his ancestor’s lost expedition. Intrigued by what appears to be a
description of a crashed spacecraft in the diaries of that first voyage, the
Doctor and Leela join him on his quest. But when their plane runs into trouble
and ends up crash landing, everyone gets more than they bargained for.
The jungle is filled with giant creatures and angry tribesmen, all ready to
attack. But in the famed lost city of the Maygor tribe, something far, far worse
is lurking. Something with an offer to make to mankind. Who are the Lurons and
can they be trusted? Will the Doctor defeat the plans of the malevolent Godrin
or will he become just another victim of the legendary Valley of Death?
This story takes place between Horror of Fang Rock and
The Invisible Enemy.
