Summary: Parallel worlds story explores different possibilities
Comment: Regarded by many Doctor Who fans as one of the great stories, I have to say that 'Inferno' has always left me cold.

UNIT has been called in to a project to penetrate the Earth's crust to reach pockets of Stahlman's gas, which will provide a new source of power. But something strange is happening: a popular repair man undergoes a strange mutation and goes berserk, and the man in charge of the drilling operation, Professor Stahlman, won't trust his own computer.

In the midst of all this, the Doctor's experiments with the TARDIS console transfers him to a parallel Earth, where events are further advanced...

Following this story on TV, the production team returned to a less adult version of Doctor Who and, sadly, it is the last TV story to feature Liz Shaw. Fortunately, the writers of original Doctor Who novels have featured her in several more books. On the positive side, Sergeant Benton returns to the regular cast (he previously appeared as a corporal in 'Invasion').

'Inferno' was slow on TV, and its still slow in this novel. The reality is, not a lot happens. If you liked it on TV or video, by all means get the book.

Summary: A Masterpiece!
Comment: This is Dr Who, and indeed science fiction at it's best. An absolutely stunning story with characters the reader can immediately love or hate, non-stop action from cover to cover, and plot twists that keep your eyes glued to the pages. Terrance Dicks is brilliant.
