Seeing

Bigger hardback novel than
previous 9th & 10th Doctor adventures. Larger font.
New Doctor and companions. Still with the same thrills and excitement of
travelling in the Blue Box and not landing in Rio but in England in 1936.
It takes a while for the
Doctor and Co to make an appearance but Gary sets the scene and in some small
back of the mind thought, I debated if there was a need for them at all. But of
course we do, it wouldn’t be a Doctor Who adventure otherwise. The final part
of the story relied upon human and alien minds working together to save planet
Earth from the Tahrns.
When we meet the Doctor he
is in deep conversation with a sheep after plummeting down a hillock the moment
he stepped from the TARDIS.
This is a human story of
lives torn apart by the violence of an alien race desperate to remove the
existence of another from the Universe and caring not for those caught up in
the middle. Snuffing out the lights on many innocent souls, in much the same
way as the aliens in ‘War of the Worlds’ starring Tom Cruise. (only way I could
picture it).
