The Doctor and Jo Grant try to foil The Master's latest plot, involving a prison riot, a nerve-gas missile, and a peace conference in Terrance Dicks' novelization of the Doctor Who episode The Mind of Evil.
This is the Jon Pertwee-era Doctor, who was stranded on Earth in the early 70s and working as an advisor to a military group. Pertwee was a more can-do Doctor, and showcases his mastery of Venusian kung-fu in this outing.
Terrance Dicks is considered the definitive Doctor Who novelist, and I concur. I read a lot of these as a teenager without ever having seen an episode of Doctor Who nor having much knowledge as to what it was. When, as an adult, I moved to a city where Tom Baker-era Doctor Who was on the local PBS affiliate, it all came together, and the Baker era was a good time to catch up.
I had not read a Terrance Dicks novel in a very long time, but found a good audiobook version of this at the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and enjoyed listening.
