The TARDIS materialises on a remote island, set in a sea of acid, on the planet Marinus. The Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara meet Arbitan, keeper of a vast computer which rules and balances the gentle life of Marinus. Yet peace on the planet is threatened by the sub-human Voord, who wish to take control of the Conscience.
Arbitan enlists the travellers to find the five crucial Keys of Marinus in various locations across the planet. Thus begins a series of terrifying adventures for the Doctor and his friends, who must find the Keys if they wish to ever to see the TARDIS again.
Jamie Glover, who played William Russell in the BBC TV drama An Adventure in Space and Time, reads Philip Hinchcliffe's novelisation of Terry Nation's 1964 TV serial.

Doctor Who And The Keys Of Marinus By Phillip Hinchcliffe
‘Doctor Who And The Keys Of Marinus’ by Phillip Hinchcliffe is the story of the fifth Doctor Who television serial with the first Doctor William Hartnell and with his assistants Susan, Ian and Barbara. The story centres around a quest for the Tardis crew to find and return some microchip keys from all around a world to prevent the evil Voord causing destruction.
This book was originally written in 1980 and is now out of print therefore I listened to it as a audiobook on Apple Audiobooks. The book stayed very faithful to the television serial and was a well written book and was an enjoyable listen. The audiobook was narrated by Jamie Glover who narrated the story well and he really brought the story to life. A really enjoyable book if you are a fan of Doctor Who.
