Sonic Screwdriver Location (Potential Spoilers!) Earth, England, London Synopsis Tegan, the young air hostess who quite unintentionally became a member of the TARDIS's crew, wants to return to her own time, but when the Doctor tries to take her back to Heathrow Airport in the twentieth century the TARDIS lands instead on the outskirts of seventeenth-century London. The Doctor and his companions receive a decidedly unfriendly welcome - but it soon becomes clear that the sinister activities of other visitors from time and space have made the villagers extremely suspicious of outsiders. As a result of the aliens' evil schemes, the Doctor finds himself on the point of playing a key role in a gruesome historical event...

I will admit the Purpose of past Target Novels at that Time was more to retell a Story, that you maybe missed the Broadcast of or wanted to experience it again, and when we judge it at that, it does its Job fairly well. That said, while reading it I couldn't stop the Feeling of "Why I am reading this instead of just watching the TV Episodes?" It sadly does not add much Substance on its own, which is one of the Things that I look most forward in this range. That said, if you wanna for some Reason experience this great underrated TV Story again, but don't want to watch it again, you might as well-read this! For anybody else who is looking for a New Version of the Story or a Version with more added details, this is sadly not for you. It's still the Visitation, which is a great Story, and as I said in the Past, the Target Novels had a much different Purpose, so I don't wanna be too harsh on this one.
