Who Reviews The Glamour Chase by DJ Forrest


Written by Gary Russell
For BBC Books
Published 2010

Seeing is not believing

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).
