A chain of events has been set in motion that will change the Doctor and Peri forever. A chain that involves old enemies as well as old friends. How does Peri come to be the leader of a gang of rebel fighters on an outlying planet? Who is the mysterious 'General' against whom they are rebelling so violently? Where does the so-called 'Supremo', leader of the Alliance forces ranged against the General, come from, and why is he so interested in Peri? The answers lie in the origins of a conflict that will affect the whole cosmos - a conflict that will find humans, Sontarans, Draconians and even Cybermen fighting together for the greater good and glory. For the Supremo. It is a conflict that will test both the Doctor and Peri to the limit, and bring them face to face with the dark sides of their own personalities.

Roger Moore as the Doctor...!?!?
By Eric Troup
I really should preface this review by stating that I am fairly new to the universe of Doctor Who. I've heard many of the Big Fnish audio productions, and I've seen a fair amouint of shows from the series (but comparatively few; just enough to know I love the show, but not enough to be able to carry on an intelligent debate about any particular eras of the show). One of my least-familiar areas is of the 5th Doctor. I know him from the Big Finish audios, but have only seen one series story (Resurrection of the Daleks). So when I read "Warmonger" and thought certain things seemed ... off, I figured maybe it was just me not being knowledgable enough about this particular incarnation of the Doctor. But it would seem that was not the case. As I read more and more of this book, it seemed that things just got more and more out of character from where they should be.
Now, I should point out that this book is actually a lot of fun to read if you turn your mind off. I'd say the less you know about Doctor Who, the better you'll like this book. Problem is, the book is clearly written with fans in mind, with little nods hither and thither to other Doctor Who adventures, science-fiction conventions, and even a nod to Douglas Adams, who apparently was a writer on Doctor Who before he wrote HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (If he was more than merely a writer, I appologize to any Whovian who is now "aaaargh"ing in frustration at me right now.)
As I think about this book, having just finished it, what springs to mind is this: I think I would've enjoyed this book much more when I was around thirteen (I'm thirty-three now), back when I loved Roger Moore as James Bond and didn't like those Connery films or the Bond books because they weren't nearly as action-packed and didn't use enough of those cool gadgets. This Doctor Who novel has everything I could've asked for as a younger fan of DOctor Who--huge space- and ground-battles, the Doctor being pretty bad-ass and not afraid to show it, a close encounter with a sexual liaison between the Doctor and his companion ... Time Lords, Cybermen, Ice Warriors, Sontaurans ... about the only thing missing from this juvenile-fanboy recipe are the Daleks.
But just as I outgrew Roger Moore as James Bond and came to appreciate the Connery era as being much more intelligent, suspenseful and overall more satisfying, not despite a lack of copious action scenes and gadgets, but in many ways *because* of it, so hve I come to appreciate a more mateur and subtle form of Doctor Who, one that doesn't need a lot of gimickry and action to tell a rollicking adventure story.
What makes this all the more frustrating is the fact that the story is written by Terrance Dicks, a man who has been working in the Doctor Who universe since at least the 1970s. He should know better. I'm apparently a rare bird in that I actually like his "simplistic" writing style ... but I need more meat from my Doctor Who than this book provides, and that's a shame, because the story itself is an interesting one.
In summation, if you like the ROger Moore films in the James Bond series, particularly the Moonraker variety, and you want similar sensibilities in Doctor Who, you'll probably love this book. However, if you want something more substantial and ... er ... filling from you favorite Time Lord, I'd advise you to find another book. There are plenty in the Doctor Who universe to choose from.

Flash Gordon meets Doctor Who with mostly poor results
By N. Williams
Terrance Dicks script edited the Pertwee years of Doctor Who and wrote scripts for the Troughton, Tom Baker and Peter Davison eras of the show; furthermore, he novelized more of the television stories than any other writer. All of this makes the writer one of the most knowledgeable men of Doctor Who, but sadly T.D. is one of those writers whose works range from genius to boring. One never knows what to expect from a T.D. production, and I'm sad to report this one of his less respectable stories.
Warmonger is a prequel to the Fourth Doctor television story The Brain of Morbius, which itself was an homage to Frankenstein; it's one of Doctor Who's most enjoyable stories. Despite being a prequel, Warmonger features the Fifth Doctor and Peri and details the war which left Morbius' brain headless. The novel reads like a bad Star Wars novel with unlikely alliances between Timelords, Sontarans, Ice Warriors, Draconians, Ogrons and Cybermen. At no point was I ever convinced these races would ally to fight the evil, vane and utterly idiotic Morbius. And because Morbius is incompetent, I never remotely begin to believe he could lead an army to conquer the universe, just as I can never believe Peri (one of the whiniest companions in Doctor Who history) as a guerilla commander. Also, the Fifth Doctor seems out of place here as the great Supremo who leads his army against that of Morbius. I've always pictured the Fifth Doctor as more of a pacifist. The Sixth Doctor seems a more credible choice to spearhead this story. None of the characters fit their places -- we have square characters being put in round holes. This story is all too epic to be crammed into one 280+ page novel and the plot relies far too much on miscast stereotypes to fit into one volume. With the right pieces and three volumes, this could have been a masterpiece.
I do like some of the book's earlier moments. The book begins with Peri's exploits as a rebel commander, and I kept turning pages to discover how Peri turned into this rough, tough, take-no-prisoners character. The Doctor's reasons for journeying to a pre-Brain of Morbius Karn all seem viable, and it was great to visit The Sisterhood again, although they play far too small a role in this book.
In short, too much is crammed into this tale and the results are totally unconvincing. For a better sampling of T.D.'s Doctor Who writing search for the brilliant Virgin novel "Blood Harvest."

Hilariously bad...I loved it!
By Celeste Chang
Ok. It's by Terrance Dicks. So you know it'll have a bunch of continuity references to other Terrance Dicks Doctor Who stories. Plus a bunch of new continuity nightmares introduced in the course of "explaining" previous gaps or errors. In this case, it's a sort of prequel to (the TV story) "The Brain of Morbius" (also hilariously bad if you think about the plot, which apparently made more sense before Terrance Dicks took his name off the credits, but otherwise wonderful and fun to watch), and also possibly some attempt to explain why Peri would run off with a barbarian warlord king person in her departure from the show.
It's by Terrance Dicks. So it's a fast, smooth read, with no weird stylistic experiments or plodding prose. The madness fairly flies off the page. Yes, yes, with the WW2 references in there, too.
Peri is a guerilla leader! The Fifth Doctor is a scary warlord in a black uniform! Uniting Sontarans, Draconians, Ogrons, and Cybermen and others in a great big space fleet!
No, I don't believe a word of it, either. But I couldn't stop laughing. What was Uncle Terry smoking when he wrote this and where can I get some?
My only real disappointment was that Morbius didn't get to have a longer and more impressive reign as Galactic Emperor before his brain got nicked by Dr. Solon.
