Summary

"Look, Brigadier! It's growing!" screamed Sarah. The Brigadier stared in amazement as the Robot began to grow...and grow...swelling to the size of a giant! Slowly the metal colossus, casting its enormous shadow upon the surrounding trees and buildings, began to stride towards the Brigadier. A giant metal hand reached down to grasp him.

Can Doctor Who defeat the evil forces controlling the Robot before they execute their plans to blackmail or destroy the world?

Critic reviews

"They're well-written books: adventure stories of course, but with some thought...the creation of the character of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it." ( Westminster Press)

Robot Wars

A giant robot threatens to end the world - and that, more or less, is all you need to know about this excellent Dr Who novelisation of Tom Baker’s first full-length foray as the titular Time Lord. It’s wacky, as always, but its themes continue to resonate nearly 50 years after the adventure was first aired, as debate rages about artificial intelligence and nuclear warfare. It gets more compelling as it progresses - and Baker’s narration is excellent. Get a bag of jelly babies, relax and settle down with a pair of headphones - it’s a slice of pure nostalgia, and it’s flawlessly done.
