Synopsis

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.

The first thing the alien possessed beachcomber has to say is "I am Sild and I must find the one. Find the one called the Master". After reading......more

Barry Letts (producer of 1970s Doctor Who) and Jon Pertwee (its star) are sat in the canteen at BBC television centre. It is about 4.30 on a wet Wednesday afternoon in 1971. BL: So, Jon, what did you make of the script? JP: The script? Oh yes, this ‘Harvest of Time’ thingy. I very much enjoyed it, old......more

Goodreads review by Michael on February 25, 2014

When I first heard that Alastair Reynolds was writing a Doctor Who tie-in novel, I was equal part curious and skeptical. After reading Stephen Baxter's Second Doctor tie-in, I wasn't sure the melding of a big-name genre writer with the universe of Doctor Who could be very successful. Which is why I w......more

Goodreads review by Otherwyrld on February 11, 2015

This was not only a good book, but a good Doctor Who book. It is set in the era of the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and Jo Grant, and also features UNIT in its heyday, and has the Master as one of the antagonists. Firstly the characters - they were all very well drawn, to the point that I could actuall......more

Goodreads review by Philip on October 08, 2019

Having finished Harvest of Time, I feel about it the same way as I do about Stephen Baxter's Doctor Who - The Wheel of Ice -- it's such an entertaining and fun story in its own right that it would be churlish to criticise it for not being something else. Nonetheless, I wish the hardback Doctor Who r......more

Quotes

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’ http://sfcrowsnest.org.uk

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. http://www.huntspost.co.uk
