Death Trap is a 104-page gen Doctor Who novel by Robin A. Turnbow. The illos are by Alison Dayne Frankel.
Summary from an ad: "The impossible seems to have happened; Sarah Jane Smith finds the Doctor's lifeless corpse lying prone upon the TARDIS floor and nothing can be done to breathe life into the Time Lord again. Then how, the day after the funeral, does the TARDIS inexplicably disappear fro its place at UNIT headquarters?" [1]
Reactions and Reviews
A "get 'em" story centering on the Doctor's efforts to thwart an interplanetary invasion. Although Sarah Jane comes across a bit too hysterical for my tastes, the story as a whole is engrossing, especially after it settles down into almost straight adventure. (There is a rather chilling scene involving a "clone" of Sarah in the latter part of the story.)
Artwork is fair. A fairly good zine - perhaps a little steep at $9.00.[2]
