3.0 out of 5 stars The Wirrrn Queen looks like a termite, 1 Oct 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
There are few enhancements for this book beyond a prologue which details how the Wirrrn Queen comes aboard the Ark and shuts down the systems. Otherwise Marter focuses on retelling the tale. Some of the dialogue appears differently, most noticably the Doctor's famous "homo sapiens" speech, but by and large it works since what works on television does not necessarily work in print and vice versa. There is a nice touch where the Doctor and Harry now use a small table with a central leg as an umbrella to avoid the automatic laser rather than the giant box seen on television - something that would have been too time consuming on screen but here evokes wonderful images. Harry is given a strong role in the story but not an over dominant one, showing that Marter is willing to let his loyalty to his own part not supercede the basis of the story. There is however a strong degree of anti-feminism present throughout the book, indicating perhaps the backlash against protests going on in the wider world. Although the High Minister remains female and Sarah and Vira retain their roles, Harry often resorts to put downs in speaking to Sarah which from a modern perspective date the book heavily even though they are used to urge Sarah on. This is the one section where the book feels weak as otherwise the claustrophobia and tension is, if anything, even stronger than on television with the stakes all too clear.
