Doctor Who and the Keys of Marinus was a novelisation based on the 1964 television serial The Keys of Marinus.

Publisher's summary

MARINUS
a remote force-shielded island set in a sea of acid, governed by
THE CONSCIENCE
the ultimate computer which rules and balances the gentle life of Marinus, guarded by
ARBITAN THE KEEPER
ruthless protector of a peace-loving race threatened by
YARTEK
Warlord of the brutal sub-human Voords, sworn enemy of Arbitan and of Marinus, who has within his grasp
THE KEYS OF MARINUS

the Conscience’s vital micro-circuits, the doors of good and evil.

Can the Doctor find the hidden circuits in time? Arbitan’s command was `Find them, OR DIE!’

Writing and publishing notes

  • This title was Philip Hinchcliffe’s last contribution to the range, and his sole novelisation of a serial he did not produce.
  • With no photographs for reference, cover artist Mike Brett decided to try something different and feature no people on the cover.
  • Producer John Nathan-Turner’s criticism of the cover artwork (namely the TARDIS is blue NOT grey, and the light is white NOT red), went unheeded.
  • Large chunks of dialogue and story were cut from the novelisation.
