Search for the doctor par David Martin
I must have made all the wrong choices. The book was over in 10 minutes for me.
It's an amazingly deep dive of the making of Tom Baker's first season as the Doctor, with all the shooting scripts from those episodes. I'm honestly surprised the BBC didn't release more books like this after this one. They are such a valuable and educational look into not only the making of Doctor Who but the running of a TV series in general.

Probably the most interesting from the continuity point of view of the six books, this time "you" are a telepathic refugee from Earth, stranded in a camp on Gallifrey, rescued by the Doctor, and sucked into a struggle with the evil Maker who wants to, guess what, destroy Gallifrey and take over the universe. It's not exactly Gallifrey as we know it, though in fact it's not all that far off the Time War Gallifrey which we have seen recently. There are some silly die rolls and anagram quizzes, but in general the plot is pretty linear, and when Martin lets his hair down there's some writing that approaches being decent.… (plus d'informations)

The story starts with "you" inheriting K9 from the late Sarah Jane Smith, in the year 2056; you then join forces with Drax from The Armageddon Factor, helping the Doctor to defeat Omega who is threatening to destroy the universe by taking over a nuclear research facility for his own ends. Obviously a lot of elements recycled from TV stories which Martin co-wrote with Bob Baker, and it's actually rather well done - a somewhat improvised team ("you", Drax and K9) trying to rescue the Doctor and thwart Omega. The options for success do tend to be the last in the list for each page, with only two exceptions. But on the whole the "correct" choices are fairly signalled. There are a couple of anagram puzzles which are not terribly well integrated into the plot.… (plus d'informations)
