“Engines of War” by George Mann
I have had both good and bad experiences with Doctor Who novels. For a show that can be so delightfully complex, the books written to be part of the same universe can be dreadfully plain. Borderline boring. Engines of War was … Continue reading

Doctor Who: Series Not-So-Great (Eight)
I love Doctor Who. Even people who barely know me can rattle off this sentence: “Oh, Bec, she’s the book nut who loves Doctor Who, right?”. I can still remember the first time I watched Doctor Who. A friend of … Continue reading
“11 Doctors, 11 Stories” – Part Five
I made the right call yesterday when I decided to split the Eleventh Doctor’s story off from the other New Who Doctors. See, at the time I was just worried about the word count. But splitting off Eleven’s story also … Continue reading
“11 Doctors, 11 Stories” – Part Three
I have reached the end of my crash course in Classic Who. So I figured that I would write this up before I get to my Doctors. I can’t wait to read Nine’s story. It seems to be (because I … Continue reading

These stories are so much shorter than I thought they were going to be. Or I’m just tearing through them because they’re so awesome. Let’s begin: The Fourth Doctor: The Roots of Evil by Philip Reeve About a month ago, when I … Continue reading
“11 Doctors, 11 Stories” – Part One
A few months ago, I decided to test my willpower and walked into my local book store. I saw all of the books I wanted, but managed to spare only a few whimpers and lingering, longing gazes at those glossy … Continue reading
“Sick Building” by Paul Magrs
Thank God it’s Sunday. It’s been a while since I’ve worked four days in a row. I’d forgotten how tired it makes you. Give it a few weeks and I’ll be back in the swing of things. What my new … Continue reading

“Wishing Well” by Trevor Baxendale
I have never been a Martha fan. She kind of reminds me of that girl/boy in stories where the the main character has just gotten out of really important relationship and that girl/boy wants the main character to turn around … Continue reading
“The Resurrection Casket” by Justin Richards
I don’t know if you’ve cottoned on yet, but I’m going through a bit of Doctor Who withdrawal at the moment. Well, specifically, a good companion withdrawal. On UKTV I’ve got the Ponds, and on Syfy I have Leela. All … Continue reading
