All four Doctors, 9,10, 11, & 12 are at separate times in their lives. 9 has just undergone a misadventure where he took Rose to her past to see her father and she cracked the universe. 10 has just lost Martha and Astrid. 11 has just saved Clara from the Great Intelligence, and 12 has just lost Clara and gained a new companion Bill. And yet all four find their paths disrupted when 12 finds himself eventually crossing paths with Donna Noble, 11 stumbles on Martha Jones, 10 collides into Amy and Rory, and 9 accidently gets sought after by Clara Oswald. Each undergoes a separate adventure where each Doctor ends up having a journey with a companion that belongs to another Doctor. Here comes a side adventure of the beloved characters of Doctor Who!
I finished the book because it's hard for me not to, but I don't want to read the rest of the series. It doesn't follow Dr. Who, the television show, because, for one thing, it gives the wrong number of regeneration for each doctor. The dialogue is annoying because the characters don't speak naturally, frequently using "for" to mean because. I don't know anyone who speaks that way, and the Doctor and his companions certainly never did. I'm glad I didn't pay for the book, having read it through a free trial of Kindle Unlimited.
I first found the the story to be a bit confusing but ended up enjoying the it very much and am going to move on to book 2. The plot really started coming together towards the end of the book and I think I'll probably give the next book 5 stars.
I like the way the author has been able to voice each Doctor as well as each Companion so true to the characters we all know and love.
Without giving away spoilers I will say I'd recommend this book/series to long time Whovians. This is NOT a book or series of books to read as a jumping on point of the program or other books related to the program. Die hard fans will enjoy the interaction of the various Doctors and the assorted companions.
I'm going to start book 2 now; can't wait to see what the ****** (no spoilers here) have in store for The Doctor and his friends!
Okay...I am impressed. The BEST Doctor Who book ever. This book mentions so many episodes and the last four doctors and a mix up with the companions. I can say so much more, but SPOILERS. I really expect all Doctor Who fans to read this incredible and totally delightful book. You will be like me...can't wait for the books to follow this one. The cliffhanger will leave you astounded. I didn't want this one to end. Come on Court M....entertain me. Peace out Whovians.
