A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE SECTION?! Is this my favorite book ever now?

This thing just suddenly got...CRAZY violent. Respect.

Still having a blast with this. Again, it’s so cool seeing an “adult” rated First Doctor story that doesn’t ever break the tone or format OF a First Doctor Story. I feel like I should get more Stephen Cole books.

Picked this back up after tonight’s tremendous episode. I wish more of a meal was made out of the Agatha Christie riff, but it’s still a very solid, very fun read.

Reallt starting to cook now. I really enjoy how Cole sets up all the background about the setting and the war and then neatly doles our exposition from the soldiers. It’s nice and neat and good flavor for the story.

Ben kinda sucks, huh?

This thing is gettin’ SPICY!

Polly just called someone a BITCH. It’s crazy seeing content clash with the First Doctor aesthetic.

It’s REALLY cracking now. It’s already mined so much greatness out of stodgy old First Doctor meeting SPACE MARINES. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

Really starting to pick up now. I will say though, this thing is a bit, shall we say, more thematically mature than I was expecting from a First Doctor adventure.
