I started reading Defending The Earth: The UNIT Sourcebook before I was I was informed that it is a supplement for the role-playing game Doctor Who: Adventures In Time and Space.
So without having the said game I read Defending The Earth: The UNIT Sourcebook completely in isolation from the game.
It is quite an entertaining read about UNIT its history and what role it plays in the security of Earth.
It has an explanation which was not provided by the Doctor Who TV series on why the UNIT acronym changed from standing for United Nations Intelligence Taskforce to Unified Intelligence Taskforce.
As this was a supplement for a game it provides interesting scenario of what happens when UNIT operatives are in a given situation.
While the book is enjoyable it is somewhat perplexing why it needed to go through areas encountered by the Doctor that UNIT could not have any possible knowledge of such as E-Space.
Surely it is better for UNIT to stick to what it knows rather than go to areas that only the Doctor has knowledge that he did not share with UNIT.
