Alrightreads: Onze Zone

Mike Tucker, Doctor Who: The Silurian Gift

2013 / Ebook / 99 pages

***

At the Mountains of Madness meets Jurassic Park from the bloke who built Red Dwarf.


Amelia Williams (James Goss), Doctor Who: Summer Falls

2013 / Ebook / 70 pages

***

Surprisingly good for a novelty product-placement tie-in, and some nice variety if you've been exclusively reading normal Doctor Who books for a while. Illustrations would have been nice though.


Justin Richards, Doctor Who: Plague of the Cybermen

2013 / Audiobook / 256 pages

**

This novel run was gratifyingly free from tedious stock baddies until their triumphant return at the end for the same story again again.


Nicholas Briggs, Doctor Who: The Dalek Generation

2013 / Audiobook / 256 pages

***

Better than expected for another bloody Dalek story in an era not exactly renowned for them, if a bit of a downer.


Jenny Colgan, Doctor Who: Time Trips – Into the Nowhere

2014 / Ebook / 49 pages

**

After her previous solo Doctor outing, this one overcompensates with grating banter talking all over the eerie ambiance.
