The author thinks he's Douglas Adams. He isn't.
This is stylistically all over the place and badly edited - there's a whole scene missing where Davros is supposed to learn about the Movellan virus. Instead one minute he's being defrosted and the next he's working on an antidote.
There's a sequence about the interior of the Tardis that gets in the way of the narrative. And being novelised brings out some of the story's less sensible ideas (the ‘bombs' in London 1984 to attract a bomb squad to protect them? The use of duplicates?)
It's a pretty straight retelling of the TV story but with an added coda that, er, well I'll let you read that for yourself.
Still, it helps complete the Target range and it's no worse than some of the lesser Terrance Dicks (praise be his name) efforts. I wasn't expecting Charles Dickens.
