4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Third Doc book!!!!, Jun 23 2002
By Daniel Firli (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
Something strange is going on in the small village of Culverton when a convoy of trucks and black shirted troops appear and take over a Second World War aerodrome. People are going missing and there is something terrifying in the swamp.

Mark Gatiss has once again brought us to a quaint small village to create (as he did in Nightshade) a spooky, creepy feel to his novel. The story is set after the 3rd Doctors exile on Earth has been lifted. This has enabled the writer to begin the Doctor's adventures by finishing off a solo jaunt on another planet.

The book is a very light/fun read, great for an escape from the harder, multiple plotline Doctor Who novels. It features great representation of the Doctor, Jo Grant, the Brigadier and the rest of UNIT plus the surprise villian. You will find scenes remeniscent from ALIEN to THE LIVING DEAD movies here all adding to the enjoyment to this traditional era novel. RECOMMENDED to all!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Dr. Who Novel, Jun 12 2001
By A Customer
I'll admit to being somewhat jaded in this review on two counts - this was the first Dr. Who novel I had ever read and the Third Doctor/Jo Grant combination is my favorite Dr. Who era.

Simply put, this is a very well done story that stays true to the Dr. Who legacy. It's got the perfect combination of a UNIT adventure and the "strange goings on in small town England" story line going for it. The characters are well rendered and the whole thing is just fun.

While I doubt that any Dr. Who novel would win the Booker or the Noble Prize for Literature, they are a fun break from the "hard stuff" - read and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-told story in a traditional style, Nov 14 2000
By "grrreg" (Newtown, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
Mark Gatiss is obviously a great fan of Doctor Who. Not only in his BBC-published novels, Big Finish-produced audio adventures, his portrayal of the Doctor in a series of sketches on BBC's Doctor Who night, but several earlier fan-produced video and audio stories, show his wide appreciation of the show in its every aspect.

'The Last of the Gadarene' is set towards the end of Doctor Who's tenth season - the Doctor's exile to Earth has ended, although he still uses it as his base of operations. Jo Grant is still his assistant (but not for much longer - how long between this book and 'The Green Death' is debatable), and UNIT are more the Doctor's friends than employers.

The Brigadier is contacted by an old friend after a private company purchases an old air force aerodrome. ALC Whistler is suspicious as to exactly what is going on. And there's more to him than the Brigadier is aware of...

The Doctor and Jo head off to Culverton to investigate. There is certainly something strange about Legion International's operation and even personnel.

A fairly traditional Doctor Who story, well told and thoughtfully plotted. A delight.
