Publisher's summary

David Collings reads this original novel adventure for the First Doctor and his companions, set in the 17th century during the Salem witch trials.

With the Doctor wanting to repair the TARDIS in peace, his companions, Barbara, Ian and Susan, decide to get some experience of living in the nearby village of Salem. But the Doctor knows about the horrors destined to engulf the village and determines that they should leave.

Susan has her own ideas and is desperate to return to Salem whatever the cost. Yet her actions will lead them all into terrible danger and cause the tragedy that is already unfolding to escalate out of control.

Featuring the First Doctor as played on TV by William Hartnell.

Wonderful narration.

I’d listen to David Collings read the phone book. If not for him, I’d never have I found this absolutely delightful story. I’m so glad I did!

I’m a Dr. Who novice (this was my first) so I don’t know how this compares to other Dr. Who stories. All I know is that I loved it.

Well written, but slow

While I found the book well written and well researched, I was strangely uninvolved. There were certainly some very interesting moments, but to my mind there were just as many dull spots. Lyons certainly evoked the William Hartnell era of Doctor Who.
