Kat's Reviews > Doctor Who: The Monsters Inside

Rose gets to visit her first alien planet...and winds up in prison! The TARDIS lands on a planet that turns out to be part of a solar-system-wide penal colony for humanity's undesirables. Rose is dumped in with the regular inmates, only to discover that an old foe might be calling the shots. The Doctor is placed in the alien ward where he's put to work solving scientific puzzles for humanity under the direction of the well-meaning and complacent scientist/jailer Flowers.

This is a story with a break-neck pace and Rose especially gets put through her paces. Lots of fear, running, and saving of worlds. This is one of those adventures that would have broken the special-effects budget for the TV show, but is wonderfully realized on paper. Great read!
