3.0 out of 5 stars Doctor Who goes 1950s sci-fi movie Oct 10 2000
By "grrreg"
Format:Paperback
This book was filled with the clichés of a 1950s American B-grade sci-fi movie, which to me made it rather at odds with the general feel of the Doctor Who series.

The TARDIS crew arrive in the city of Arkhaven on a world whose final days are approaching. They get caught up in the events, but not everything is at it seems...

Possibly if the revelations of what is really going on were less unpleasant I might have enjoyed this book more. In general, I have enjoyed Christopher Bulis' Doctor Who novels and, while this one is well written, I just didn't like it. I'm not certain why. It may be nothing more than being too dark for my mood at the time.

But I'm still giving it 3 stars, so I must have liked something!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and thought-provoking adventure Aug 15 2000
By Larry Bridges
Format:Paperback
Christopher Bulis, one of the most prolific authors of original "Doctor Who" novels, has produced another excellent story in "City at World's End." The book has a satisfyingly complex plot, with many plot strands deftly woven together. The reader is presented with several puzzling mysteries and it is a pleasure to try to guess their solutions before Bulis reveals them. The book also raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of our knowledge of the cities in which we live and of our fellow citizens, and, like all science-fiction stories concerning a planet or civilization facing imminent destruction, makes us wonder how we would behave in such a situation. The book features excellent characterizations of the Doctor and his three companions and makes us care deeply about the supporting characters. Perhaps the book's only flaw is that, toward the end, Bulis throws in a few too many of his trademark shocking plot twists (although most of them have been carefully set up earlier in the book) with the result that he must resort to a somewhat contrived plot device to provide resolution. Nonetheless, this book is highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not everything is as it appears in this adventure! April 18 2000
By Aaron Amos
Format:Paperback
The Doctor,Susan,Ian and Barbara land on a planet about to be destroyed by a moon orbiting the planet. The travellers get seperated and meet many people who live on this planet. There are many plot twists and turns!Nothing or nobody in this book is what they seem!The real villian even shocked me! The only problem I have is that none of the Tardis crew relationships are explored or expanded! Also in this book, Barbara get brainwashed and Susan gets to meet a clone of herself! If you like the first Doctor or any of his companions you'll might like this book! For book that is similar to this read the Tom Baker story"State of Decay" if you can find it! Overall I enjoyed this book ,just it takes me a long time to read them! Please bring back more missing adventures of the first Doctor ,Ian,Barbara and Susan! Just remember when you start reading this book everything to not what it seems!
