Garden of Evil

Doctor Who: Find Your Fate #3

by Dave Martin

Famine threatens every intelligent life form in the universe. The Doctor needs your special powers to combat the forces of the GARDEN OF EVIL.

Persecuted for his belief that even robots and androids have souls, the scientist-prophet Ellis has led his followers in a great exodus across the cosmos to find the gift of life.

But now Ellis is missing, betrayed by one of his followers, the maker who has stolen the secret of Ellis's greatest discovery. He plans to use its power to rid the universe of life and replace it with machines obedient to his evil will.

Unless you and the Doctor can find Ellis, the maker will win. Your quest is full of peril. To succeed you have to make the right decisions as you FIND YOUR FATE.

This is lovely nostalgic goodness. I adored "Choose Your Own Adventure" books when I was a little boy, and then I discovered a "Doctor Who" version? Sign this 10-year-old up! They're not the most challenging reads, but not only were they fun, they were written by actual Whoniverse script writers, using their own unused story ideas. "Garden of Evil" especially stuck in my mind, inspiring me to try my own hand at fan-fiction scribbling. But avoid the British version: the cover is a crayon-designed monstrosity, compared to the beautiful American edition.
