6/12/2023 0 Comments Doctor who the silent stars go byThis promising setup is unfortunately not developed with the depth that it deserves. The strength of the novel is the main characters, with Abnett capturing not only the voices of the trio from the moment they materialise, but also their mannerisms, translating the travellers from screen to prose far more effectively than Michael Moorcock did in his high profile but ultimately disappointing Coming of the Terraphiles. The premise of the novel is in keeping with the style and tone of the show, while finding something new to say – we’ve never been to a terraforming colony before, certainly not one threatened by a rapidly destabilising environment. Their position is actually a colony established twenty seven generations earlier to prepare the planet for the scattered population of the long lost Earth. The Silent Stars Go BySince the return of Doctor Who to BBC television in 2005, the Christmas special has become a festive fixture, and apparently its importance is not lost on Amy and Rory who request the Doctor to take them home to Leadworth for seasonal celebrations in this new novel from Dan Abnett, long time contributor to the Warhammer novels and 2000AD.Īs usual, the TARDIS has other ideas, and though an inviting snowscape is served up for our warmly clothed adventurers, their location turns out to be neither Leadworth nor Earth, nor even the right era of humanity.
