Synopsis

"The Ood came from a distant world, they voyaged across the stars, all for one purpose... to serve."

The TARDIS lands on the Ood-Sphere in the year 4126. Here, human profiteers have subjugated the Ood: the gentle creatures are forced into servitude and sold across the galaxy as the perfect slaves. But now, some are fighting back. Their eyes turn red as they throw off their chains and kill their oppressors...

The Doctor and Donna soon learn that the planet of the Ood holds cruel and awesome secrets. As they battle for justice and survival, the fate of the entire Ood race hangs in the balance. Will the outcome be salvation - or extinction?

This review contains spoilers!

I've always liked the TV episode, but I feel this Target novelisation is a significant improvement. It dives in deeper into the Oods' thoughts and feelings, as well as giving us further Ood attacks on their way to freedom, such as a thrilling series of murders in a spa at Ood Operations.

 

We also get more of the aftermath here too, with the Doctor and Donna helping Ood Sigma with the clean-up job after they successfully claimed their freedom, and detailing how the Ood Operations company died due to the  revelations of their cruel treatment of the Ood.
