“This original 1967 television soundtrack is considered one of the early ‘lost’ episodes of the long-running BBC series…Two of the original five video reels are forever lost from this episode, but the complete soundtrack remains. The sound effects and filtered voices of the aliens are so very 1960s, illustrating just how much groundbreaking and creative audio production work went into the series. Frazer Hines has an enjoyable time adding linking narration and a short bonus interview to the story. Long live Doctor Who.” — AudioFile

“BBC Audiobooks has chosn well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers…They benefit from new music and sound effects.”
“The Ice Warriors is bristling with clever ideas even if many of them aren’t its own; exhumed from creeping glacial ice, resurrected Ice Warrior Varga can’t help but recall The Thing from Another World (in all its incarnations), but the siting of the story’s core location, the Britannia Base battling to hold back the encroaching ice field during a new Ice Age far in the future, within the walls of an Edwardian country house, is typical off-the-wall quirky Doctor Who.”
" Ice Warriors(Martians) attack the Earth;s base during the ice age. It is upto Dr Who to rescue. Quite a boring book "
