Doctor Who and the Coming of the Terraphiles - Michael Moorcock
Yes, after my last disastrous encounter with a Doctor Who novel, I decided to try again ... on two counts. First, Michael Moorcock is a fine author. Second, this book has been chosen by my SciFi and Fantasy bookclub as their discussion book for January.
We are still in disaster territory. So bad, I'm wondering whether Michael Moorcock is having an acid flashback. The only thing that makes The Doctor identifiable as the current doctor is the bow tie and the presence of Amy Pond.
I'm 3/4 through and you know what I've ended up wondering about? There's this big space battle about to take place and a bit of description has kept me awake wondering ... how does a centaur sit in a bucket seat?
To restore my faith in The Doctor I've unearthed my box of Target novels and am reading Terrance Dick's Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen.
