Story
An unabridged reading of this classic novelisation of a 1968 TV adventure featuring the Second Doctor, as played on screen by Patrick Troughton. For 40 years the Yeti had been quiet, a collector's item in a museum. Then, without warning, it awoke and savagely murdered. At about the same time, patches of mist began to appear in Central London. People who lingered in the mist were found dead, their faces smothered in cobwebs. The cobweb seeped down, penetrating the Underground System.

A wonderful way to fill in the gaps
I’m grateful that I discovered these novelizations as a way of filling in the gaps from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton years. All of the ones I’ve listened to have been a delight, with first-rate narration enlivened with generous helpings of music and sound effects. This one is no exception. The writing is dated in places: I grimaced a bit when hearing Vicki and Barbara referred to as “the two girls.” But it’s a rousing yarn, and William Russell does a wonderful job. It includes brief snippets of an interview with him talking about the novel and contrasting it with his memories of the serial itself.

Excellent (If A Little Dark) Historical Doctor Who Tale
It’s a little crazy they end this saga with everyone laughing on the TARDIS, after everything that happens to Barbara. Anyway, fantastic story though, and well-read by William Russell, who played Ian Chesterton in the original TV serial. I enjoyed his tidbits at the end!

There's a problem here.
Okay, historical fiction is not usually intended to be entirely accurate, and Doctor Who is always to be enjoyed for its humor and adventure. Still, for a story that is clearly trying to be about cultural understanding, there is a problem. I just can't get past the repeated references to the Muslims drinking wine! This is just too wrong for me. Yes, there are some interesting characters and some fun scenes, and the narration is quite well done. I just cannot get past the one major cultural gaff of Saladin and his men serving wine.
