"The Scales of Injustice" by Gary Russell is my third Doctor Who novel, which features the Third Doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT.
The Brigadier gets news about strange deaths in a small village, a small boy missing and a police woman who draws pictures like the ancestors of the humans. The Silurans seem to be back and the Doctor is captured by them, when he investigates alone. There is a sub-department of C19, which collects all things alien in the Vault but nobody really knows about them or knows what they are planning. They want to capture a Silurian for there experiments. Liz Shaw helps them unknowingly and is captured like the Doctor. Can the Doctor and Liz help the Silurians to survive and avoid a war?
The book wasn't bad but I didn't think it was really exciting. It reminded me a lot of the episode "The Hungry Earth" with the Eleventh Doctor. This book added something to my Doctor Who knowledge about the "older" Doctors but I guess you always have to see yourself how the books fit into the events of the TV show. I liked the fact that the Brigadier was in the book and that the Doctor can't travel anywhere because his Tardis is damaged. That's a bit of a change because I only know him with a working Tardis.
If you want to read the book you can download it here for free in different formats.
