In Anterctica, nearly fifty years after the end of World War 2, Nazi Initiates inhibit a secret base; around them move the shadows and reflections of strange, Imp-like figures...The village of Turelhampton in Dorset is still a restricted military zone, cordoned off from the outside world. When a rogue film-crew breaks in, welrd damons, invisible to the naked eye, appear on camers...And in a remote country-house in Cornwall, a freelance investigative journalist is horrified to discover neo-Nazis performing an occult ritual involving a functional, accurate, crystal ball - the Scrying Glass. And in the background, the figure of Hilter watching, exactly as he appears in the last pictures of him alive...What really did happen in the Berlin bunker in 1945, when Hitler and Eva Braun supposedly committed joint suicide? And what connection does this have with the uncanny imps that can be seen only in reflections and shadows? Why is it so imperative that no-one discover the secret of Turelhampton? It is up to the Doctor and the faithful Brigadier to find out.

wonderful alternative view about World War II
By David Roy
This book is great, even more so because it was written in such a short time and yet managed to maintain that fun sense of adventure. Nobody will ever confuse it with literature, but if you want a fun read, this is it.
The Sixth Doctor meets up with the Brigadier, and hijinks ensue. Since the Sixth Doctor has already met the Brigadier in the book series (in one of Gary Russell's books), there is no need to have yet another initial meeting between the two. Instead, Justin and Stephen can get on with the story.
And what a story it is. Did Hitler survive the events of the bunker at the end of the war? What's going on in that strange house? Why has an entire English village been cordoned off since World War II? All of these mysteries come together in a delightful fashion.
Colin Baker *is* the Sixth Doctor in this book. I could see him perfectly in this part. The Brigadier is perfect as the wise old soldier who's still got the will to go on an adventure even though his body may not agree. The "companion" role is taken by a television reporter who is also well characterized. She's got a nose for a mystery, and it shows. What happens to her in this story actually surprised me, though it was almost poetic when I thought about it afterward. It's something that Cole and Richards couldn't do if they had been forced to use a real companion from the series.
There's also a wonderful use of continuity in this book. I love continuity as long as it's used well (for an example of how not to use it, see The Quantum Archangel). This book references both the series, a previous BBC book and also a previous Virgin book, which surprised me a bit.
This book is a lot of fun. Don't expect anything truly deep and meaningful out of it, but it's a nice, straightforward adventure that will make you smile.

Won't leave you Glassy-eyed
By Jason A. Miller
Right off the bat, forget that this book was plotted overnight, and written in just three weeks by the former and current "Doctor Who" editors at BBC Books. In spite of the behind-the-scenes woes (shown here as spelling errors and details that change in the middle of scenes), the book is quite enjoyable.
As with any Justin Richards book, the story sets up slowly, each chapter introducing a new character and idea, or a new setting. "Shadow/Glass" opens as a UFO crashes near a RAF military base in 1944, and slowly works up to the present day. Neo-Nazis gather in England and Antarctica, using alien technology -- and someone who looks a lot like Adolf Hitler -- in preparation for the Fourth Reich (given how many other Fourth Reichs there have been in recent DW, this should really be the Eighth Reich...).
As the mystery unfolds, the retired Brigadier and intrepid journalist Claire investigate Hitler's death, and the Sixth Doctor travels through time and meets a war epic's worth of historical figures. Tension mounts and builds up to the showdown with the aliens, and Hitler's suicide in the Berlin bunker in April, 1945.
At the end, the book self-destructs, with a too-short action sequence and a too-stale historical reenactment. Because this is the Sixth Doctor, there's some forced angst literally on the final page, and the Brigadier makes an unusually clumsy metaphor to try and cheer him up.
But never mind the rushed ending -- "Shadow/Glass" is a fun mixture of time travel and authentic history that, in its best moments, summons up the thriving spirit of "Doctor Who" and makes for great potboiler sci-fi. Highly recommended.

Imp-erfect but well worth reading.
By bonsai chicken
In the midst of World War II, a strange craft is shot down by British fighter pilots. It lands in a small English village. Over fifty years later, that village remains under military occupation, closely guarded from prying eyes. One reporter manages to sneak in and get some footage on video. The disturbing contents of the tape draw the attention of UNIT, and its retired former head, Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart.
Meanwhile, an associate is investigating the secret meetings of an elite supremacist group -- meetings that are being attended by someone who looks an awful lot like Adolf Hitler.
The Brigadier, of course, summons an associate best equipped to deal with strange and impossible occurrences. The three of them begin to uncover a mystery involving trapped aliens and the intended rise of a new world order...
In contrast to a previously read adventure written by Justin Richards, this one is quite enjoyable. While at times it feels like two separate stories were imperfectly merged into one, for the most part it works pretty well. The main plot builds on unsolved mysteries surrounding the outcome of the war (historically based, but with a certain amount of artistic license) and it is interesting to see how the pieces fit together as the novel progresses. This is always one of the fun things about historical time travel stories.
The characters from the show are faithfully portrayed. The Doctor's sixth incarnation retains his trademark arrogance, yet is sympathetic when need be. And while his mannerisms are a bit more subtle than say, the fourth Doctor's, the authors are observant in including them at the right times. Likewise the Brigadier. It is easy to picture the television actors when reading both roles. Claire, the reporter, is intelligent, resourceful and useful, like too few of the show's companions.
Apparently this novel was put together and rushed out in a shorter time than is normally given. Even so, it's one of the better new adventures I've read.
