Doctor Who and the Zarbi by Bill Strutton, adapted from his own script for the television serial Doctor Who and the Web Planet. Featuring the first Doctor with Ian, Barbara, and Vicki.
(I'm reading all the novelizations by Target Books, in broadcast order. It's easier than torrenting the back episodes and watching them; particularly the Hartnell and Troughton ones that only have audio surviving.)
Every book prior to this one has referred to the main character as "The Doctor" in the narrative, but this one calls him "Doctor Who". It's annoying AF. Hopefully it is limited to this one book.
Also annoying AF: the numbering of the Target novelizations has no correlation with the broadcast order of the stories. Their publishing order is completely random. #1 is Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen, teevee serial #68. Interestingly, the first teevee story "An Unearthly Child" is Target book #68. (The second, "The Daleks" is book #16.)
I had to rename the files to sort them into teevee order. That's 159 files including the never-broadcast "Shada".
