Reviews
On Nov 25 2007, DocHartmanReads said:
The Space War, based on the Jon Pertwee Serial "Frontier in Space" was a relatively fun read, cleverly crafted by Malcolm Hulke. While it does drag slightly in the beginning, with the whole Earth/Draconia peace accord being threatened, the book definately picks up with the introduction of the Master. I found that the reader could most especially feel the part of the Master as the most realistic... I could almost hear the late Roger Delgado's somber tones as I read his lines.
All in all, a fine read. My only real question was why the change of title from the BBC serial. Upon further review, it appears that Target Novelizations (dist. by W.H. Allen) felt that at times it would be necessary to substitute a hipper, more exciting title in place of the serialized accepted title, as it did with a few other titles as well. Six of one, half a dozen of another, really.
Quite enjoyable for children as well as adults who are children at heart and fans of the show!
