A fairly straightforward retelling of the second Doctor serial, "The Moonbase." Produced at a time when the Target novels were intended to recapture as accurately as possible what happened on-screen and bring it to a new audience. "The Moonbase" is pretty much a re-telling of "The Tenth Planet" only instead of invading Earth, the Cybermen want to take over the moon...so they can then take over the Earth. It's a Troughton "base under seige" story and it works fairly well. Davis doesn't bring a lot of embellishment to the story beyond a prologue that catches you up on the history of the Cybermen. As an audio reader, Anneke Wells does a nice job with the material. The only negative is the Cyber voices provided by Nick Briggs are new series Cybermen and not the originals. A bit disconcerting.
I loved the first 2 books, so I am excited to read "The Last Story"...
