so-soI find the cover art super creepy and don‘t like that the Doctor Who logo is absent. It makes the story look pulpy (which it is, but shhh). This is one of those Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane ones where they get captured about four times and Sarah Jane nearly gets killed twice (not through anything she did, just the fact that she‘s travelling with the Doctor). It‘s a quick read and probably better if you‘ve watched and enjoyed the TV version.
pickA solid retelling of a now-lost First Doctor serial. The ending actually differs from the TV series, but I like the book ending better. The author also apparently used Marco Polo‘s actual diaries for inspiration when adding descriptive details.
so-soEnjoyable enough adaptation of a Dr. Who arc I've never seen. It's a 40-year-old British publication, and the back cover assures us it's for children despite being at least as sophisticated (in both premise and vocabulary) as a lot of current American sci-fi aimed at adults. I'll let that speak for itself.
pickThis is the book that goes with the Doctor Who episode The Christmas Invasion. David Tennant's first episode and one of my favorites.

I've been in a rut, it's Christmas, and I've been rewatching Doctor Who since July (starting with An Unearthly Child.) I've read a couple of these new Who Target novelizations and they're usually fun with just enough extra detail to make it worth itvwhqh you've seen the episode a few times. Hopefully this is no exception
pick🎧 The TARDIS has been stolen. Doctor #2 is off on an adventure with Jamie to find the police box.
They follow clues to an old antiques shop where it becomes evident that IT‘S A TRAP!
Monster of the week? DALEKS!
They are looking for the “human factor”, something they feel will help them TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE!
One of those old series that‘s still missing an episode.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick🎧 This is a Patrick Trouton (2ND Doctor) story with Ben, Jamie & Polly. I‘ve never seen or read a story with Polly or Ben so this was interesting!
An old acquaintance of the Doctor‘s is going to blow a hole in the bottom of the sea that he‘s telling his cronies will elevate Atlantis from under the ocean but will really end all life on Earth. It‘s up to the Doctor to save the world again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4
