The Joy of History

There are few other Doctor Who stories that communicate just how fun history is. After discovering a mysterious Nazi conspiracy with seemingly occult powers in the present day, the Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier must go back in time to the final days of World War Two to find out who is behind it. Also there are aliens.

The authors meticulously researched the events behind the death of Hitler and do an excellent job of fitting the events of this novel into them. The pairing of Six and the Brigadier is an inspired choice, since they never truly met in the TV series. The story also manages to make digging through archives exciting.

Great stuff.

Brigadier and the Sixth Doctor

An alternate title to this book should've been the Doctor vs. the Nazi's. I really was not prepared for quite so much of the Doctor and Brigadier's involvement with the 3rd Reich. I originally picked up the book because the Brigadier is one of my all time favorite Doctor Who characters so I was intrigued to read about his and the Sixth Doctor's adventure. I thought it was very well written, although I could've done without the rather lengthy history lesson in the middle that seemed to go on and on about the final days of Hitler. It seemed a bit too long and unneeded honestly. Also just FYI this one is over all a bit darker then most Doctor Who stories, I was definitely surprised by some of the events that ended up happening. Overall though it was an interesting and well written story.

Good story, fun listen

The Doctor doesn't even show up for the 1st 20% of the book. Presumably he was off having tea, waiting for the action to heat up. And the action does arrive. We have the Brigadier, always a good thing, and Nazis and shadowy, imp-like aliens, and Hitler conspiracy theories to add to the mix. It felt a little padded in places and slightly over-written, but very enjoyable.

What an amazing story and so much fun

I really loved this book when I read it years ago. India Fisher reading of it may it 1000 times better
