terror in the thames
|
an original novel featuring the tenth doctor who and his companion rose tyler. as usual with these it runs for 248 pages approx, can be read by readers of all ages, and tells an original story not one based on a tv episode.
the regular cast are well captured on the printed page, all the mannerisms of the characters coming across exactly as you would expect.
the story involves the loss of a royal navy vessel, and relatives of those on board being haunted by their ghosts. but is there more to it than meets the eye? the whole of london faces a deadly threat from beneath the river thames. can the doctor save the day?
grounded in present day london like so much of the early episodes of the new series, this starts very well with an intriguing set up. whilst it does devolve into a more standard runaround of a story later on, there's some decent stuff here. good supporting characters, an old friend of rose's who is strongly characterised thanks to a good subplot about her personal life, and quite an original alien race, who make for some creepy moments.
not the best in the range, but a slightly above average entry

A little bit disappointing

I found this book a little bit disappointing. It is still good, but not nearly as good as I was expecting. It has some good one-liners and I suppose if your looking for a book about water monsters feasting on living drowned people this is just the thing! I'd still recommend you to read it!

very very good book

a good book for a fan, or anyone after a good read. fantastic plot with well built charicters( other than the obviose ones) and a good set. in the middle there is a little too much time where nothing happens, but it all leads to a good ending. all of the books of this type, for example, THE STONE ROSE and THE ART OF DISTRUCTION are very good reads. good for all. the audio book is great as well

This book is about a man called 'The Doctor' and his friend 'Rose Tyler' and they go on weird adventures through time.I am enjoying the book because it is quite funny and exciting.I am hoping to read more of the books and watch more Doctor Who on the T.V. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Doctor Who and a bit of excitment!

A good place to start

The Doctor, Rose and Mickey mix it up with some terrors under the sea in this new series adventure by Stephen Cole. Equal parts of drama, horror and humour make this a great read. Cole, along with Justin Richards frequently prove they know their stuff. I'm buying extra copies to give for Christmas to friends and family. A good start to collecting Dr Who fiction.
