The Beautiful Death is the ultimate theme-park ride: a sightseeing tour of the afterlife. But something has gone wrong, and when the Fourth Doctor arrives in the aftermath of the disaster, he is congratulated for saving the population from destruction – something he hasn't actually done yet. He has no choice but to travel back in time and discover how he became a hero. And then he finds out. He did it by sacrificing his life. An adventure featuring the Fourth Doctor as played by Tom Baker and his companions Romana and K-9.

Evaluate Out Of Books Doctor Who: Festival of Death (Past Doctor Adventures #35)

Started off kind of slow as it jumped into the middle of an adventure. But being the Doctor and Romana, they hadn't yet gotten around to the beginning yet.The end was good, but not quite as satisfying as other Doctor Who books.

Doctor Who can be a tricky series to write for. The series frequently ignores its own continuity (and some of it changes anyway; such is the nature of time travel), and it has a vast history of characters to choose from.Jonathan Morris tackles Doctor Who with such amazing ease that this book, Festival of Death, feels like it could have come directly from the TV series. Tom Baker's Doctor is well-represented here, acting and speaking exactly the way we would expect him to, and his companions

Originally published at Reading RealityThere are some serious wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey bits in this story. The Doctor, Romana and K-9 cross and recross their own time-streams multiple times on a derelict, or soon-to-be-derelict, or just-in-the-middle-of-becoming-derelict, spaceship cum theme-park where the interface between hyperspace and real-space is becoming unstable.And Romana is threatening to withdraw the Doctor's TARDIS-driving privileges if he cant pass his time travel proficiency test.

Excellent well written and thought out adventure as Baker's doctor jumps off the page and into the mind.A page turner

Why do I always give Doctor Who books such high ratings? I promise I am not biased. This was genuinely a really good story. As the author states in his introduction, this Doctor Who tie-in has enough ideas for two books. He's wrong. This book has enough original ideas and such an interesting story to warrant an independent series. Yeah it was that good.

Oh, thank goodness that's over. There's a lot to like about this book, but it feels like it goes on forever. Republished to represent the fourth Doctor in the anniversary year of the show, it presents the man of teeth and curls with his companion the Time Lady Romana, and both are on great form (with Romana being particularly well portrayed as an equal to the title character). The writing is strong, and although it's occasionally self-conscious in how much it wants to be like Douglas Adams

An excellent example of how a time travel story SHOULD be! Great story, Mr. Morris!
