Doctor Who: Harvest Of Time

Geoffrey Beevers reads this brand new adventure featuring the Third Doctor, from award-winning science fiction writer Alastair Reynolds.

Beevers as both narrator and evil genius... is thoroughly believable... He switches easily between the characters and presents an immersive experience of ‘Harvest Of Time’

The audio release uses the vocal talents of Geoffrey Beevers, who played a later incarnation of the Master, and he performs the job with aplomb… Highly recommended.

After billions of years of imprisonment, the vicious Sild have broken out of confinement. From a ruined world at the end of time, they make preparations to conquer the past, with the ultimate goal of rewriting history. But to achieve their aims they will need to enslave an intellect greater than their own...   On Earth, UNIT is called in to investigate a mysterious incident on a North Sea drilling platform. The Doctor believes something is afoot, and no sooner has the investigation begun than something even stranger takes hold: the Brigadier is starting to forget about UNIT's highest-profile prisoner. And he is not alone in his amnesia.   As the Sild invasion begins, the Doctor faces a terrible dilemma. To save the universe, he must save his arch-nemesis... the Master.   A complete and unabridged reading by Geoffrey Beevers, with original sound design.

An excellent read with lots of action and witty by-play

Partly an intriguing sci-fi story…partly an indulgent second-childhood romp. Who can't find the fun in that?

Harvest of Time is easily one of the best original Doctor Who novels

A forgotten enemy. An old adversary. A terrible alliance.
