Publisher Description
In a final bid to regain control of the TARDIS's faulty control system the Doctor is driven to experiment with a dangerous untried combination. With a violent explosion the TARDIS blacks out and the crew find themselves trapped inside. A simple technical fault? Sabotage? Or something even more sinister? Tension mounts as the Doctor and his companions begin to suspect one another. What has happened to the TARDIS? Slowly a terrifying suspicion dawns. Has the TARDIS become the prisoner of some powerful fifth intelligence which is even now haunting the time-machine's dark and gloomy corridors? William Russell, who played the Doctor's companion Ian in the original TV serial, reads Nigel Robinson's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1988. 'BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers... they benefit from new music and sound effects' - Doctor Who Magazine.

Doctor Who: The Edge Of Destruction
Doctor Who: The Edge Of Destruction is a tv tie in for target books of the classic Doctor Who television serial featuring the first doctor, William Hartnell. The television serial is the third television serial of Doctor Who made. The book is written by Nigel Robinson.
The story only features the main cast Doctor Who, who was played by William Hartnell, Ian Chesterton who was played by William Russell, Barbara Wright who was played by Jacqueline Hill and the doctors granddaughter Susan who was played by Carole Ann Ford. The story centres completely aboard the Tardis and is regarding an issue with the Tardis causing lots of confusions and arguments to ensure.
I listened to the audiobook of this book as the book is out of print. The audiobook was narrated by William Russell who does a good job of narrating. The story sticks quite well to the television serial but does have extra scenes not in the television serial which was nice to listen to as it meant I felt that the story was expanded from seeing it on television. This was a good book however not my favourite Target Doctor Who adaptation
