Great adventure tale highly reminiscent of the early 3rd Doctor epics of his first season. Tale serves as an intro for Yates. Draws heavily from early sci-fi especially Metropolis & Jules Verne's Mysterious Island. ( )

excellent pastiche of King Kong: the Doctor and Liz, and eventually UNIT as well, are dragged back to the Pacific in 1934 where an alien presence is threatening to destroy the world as we know it, and at the same time must deal with leakage from a parallel timeline. Very entertaining, with an ingeniously imagined alien which finds our planet too cold for it to function, and a villain who is not so much evil as just vain and not very bright; I think this is the best of Bulis's Who books that I have read (and I have read seven others).
