This is the only one of the books written by someone who didn't write for the TV series, though Holt did write several Doctor Who quiz books. The protagonist, again "you" but also named as "Chris", joins forces with the Doctor, Peri and (anachronistically) Turlough to prevent the villainous Garth Hadeez from destroying the Solar System. The writing is really excruciatingly badly pitched, with Peri and Turlough making horrible and inappropriate puns on every page, and characters routinely bursting into song (ie doggerel).
Which is a shame because the narrative structure is rather interesting - there are two different happy endings, one of which comes from a plot set entirely in 17th century Prague and the other on Mars and Phobos (though it turns out not to actually be Phobos as we know it) with also the option of time-slipping from Phobos to Prague for an epic story. There's also one number puzzle which is fair and actually plot-relevant. It's a shame that the originality of the path structure was not matched by appropriate restraint in the writing. ( )
