Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius by Terrance Dicks
Tom Baker reads this thrilling novelization of a classic Doctor Who adventure.
Why do so many spaceships crash-land on Karn, a bleak, lonely, and seemingly deserted planet? Are they doomed by the mysterious powers of the strange, black-robed Sisterhood, jealously guarding their secret of eternal life? Or does the mad Dr. Solon, for some evil purpose of his own, need the bodies of his victims? And more especially the body of the Doctor.
Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in the BC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks complete and unabridged novelization, first published by Target Books in 1977.
