Loving the Alien
7th Doctor and Ace
The TARDIS arrives in 1959, where the Doctor plans to take on the destiny that awaits Ace. Mike Tucker and Robert Perry resolve the cliffhanger to Prime Time via a sequel to Illegal Alien. Confused? Loving the Alien starts off quite well, but around page 100 the prose style starts to slip, and the storyline starts to devolve. More worringly, these involve situations and explanations that contradict the current storyline of the EDAs - I know Doctor Who has often contradicted itself, but when a major storyline is based around one thing and another book says something, you have to wonder where the editoral control is. That said, I enjoyed Rita's exploration of the alternative universe. The ending is very confusing as to the status of Ace. All up, Loving the Alien starts off well, but the end fails to deliver.

Special Review

Campaign
1st Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara
The controversial PDA, dropped due to missed deadlines, a finished product that did not match the comissioned outline and a storyline that "90% of our readers won't [understand]". The best way to sum up the plot of Campaign is to that it is an exploration of the original TARDIS crew, as we saw them, and as they could have been. As Campaign progesses, the changes in the characters continue to evolve as the TARDIS crew try to solve the mystery surrounding them. The story is not just told through standared prose, but through illustrations and a variety of prose tricks used to get across the views of the characters. This is a story that people will either love or hate; as for me, I enjoyed Campaign, and the themes Jim was exploring throughout the story. Unmissable.
Preliminary Rating: 10/10
