Why wasn’t Rose on my cover?

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Seriously, mine just has the Doctor on it.  Do people really hate Rose that much that they had to make two covers?

A 10th Doctor Adventure

December 29, 2014 by Walking Widdershins Leave a Comment

This is yet another of the 50th Anniversary books, one for each Doctor. This one has the 10th, plus Donna Noble and her family. The writer, Gary Russel, worked on Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures, so he’s familiar with the concepts, and does this sub-genre proud. Donna is home, getting ragged on by her mom, and catching up with her grandpa Wilf. He’s having a great time, because he has discovered a new star, and he got to name it. Wilf invites the […]

A 9th Doctor Adventure

December 29, 2014 by Walking Widdershins Leave a Comment

This is yet another 50th Anniversary special book. It was written by Gareth Roberts & published in 2005. Roberts has written a few of my favorite episodes of the modern Doctor Who, including “The Shakespeare Code” and “The Unicorn and the Wasp.” (He also wrote “The Lodger,” which brought us Matt Smith’s gams). According to his bio, he also wrote for The Sarah Jane Adventures, a show I hope one day to see without having to pay for it. We know Roberts loves us, because […]

Another 11th Doctor Adventure

December 29, 2014 by Walking Widdershins Leave a Comment

This is another of the 50th Anniversary books re-released in 2013 (I’m a year behind, I know). It’s Christmas time, and the Doctor, Amy, and Rory are supposed to be heading home (to Leadworth, that is) for Christmas. But of course they are sidetracked to where they’re needed (thanks, Idris/Tardis!). They end up somewhere Earth-ish, and it’s definitely winter. When they’re exploring, Rory turns back to get a warmer coat. (Why does he do that? He should know better than to get separated from the […]

River Song’s first book

December 28, 2014 by Walking Widdershins Leave a Comment

My favorite companion wrote a book! Ok, so she used a pseudonym, but we all know it’s River Song. She’s a hard boiled detective for a hard boiled time, with all the sass and brass and everything you expect from her. Melody has been hired by movie star Rock Railton, who believes that he is to be killed. Rock mentions the “kiss of the Angel,” so Melody is definitely in.  She meets studio owner Max Kliener at a press party, and he says he can make her a […]

A time lord, a bounty hunter and a captain walk into a church…

December 17, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 1 Comment

I wish I had more Doctor Who novels, I could finish this thing up in true geek style.
