About this listen

 For the first time on audio, this is an unabridged reading of a classic Doctor Who novelisation, based on a serial from the original TV series.

Why do so many spaceships crash land on Karn, a bleak, lonely and seemingly deserted planet? Are they doomed by the mysterious powers of the strange, black-robed Sisterhood, jealously guarding their secret of eternal life? Or does the mad Dr Solon, for some evil purpose of his own, need the bodies of the victims - and more especially, the body of Doctor Who?

Although I know this story well - I love to listen to Tom Baker - I find him so relaxing that I just drift off.....
Seriously good listen and jolly well written.

The classic TV version of the Morbius story is an homage to Hammer horror - the Doctor does Frankenstein, effectively. It’s brilliant thanks to Tom Baker, who narrates the audiobook and voices Morbius, to chilling effect. It’s a macabre tale, cleverly constructed, short but compelling. And it’s the subject of a forthcoming Backlisted podcast (about old books).

Vintage Doctor Who: a spine-chilling listen!

Any 4th Doctor story Tom Baker narrates is a cracker. Good length and very enjoyable.

Awesome

The only thing that grates a little is the pronunciation of "Solon" as "Sewlon". Other to that, excellent!

Excellent version of classic adventure.
