Book Description

Publication Date: 6 Sep 2007 | ISBN-10: 1846072697 | ISBN-13: 978-1846072697 | Edition: hardcover

Tiermann's World: a planet covered in wintry woods and roamed by sabre-toothed tigers and other savage beasts. The Doctor is here to warn Professor Tiermann, his wife and their son that a terrible danger is on its way.

The Tiermanns live in luxury, in a fantastic, futuristic, fully-automated Dreamhome, under an impenetrable force shield. But that won't protect them from the Voracious Craw. A gigantic and extremely hungry alien creature is heading remorselessly towards their home. When it gets there everything will be devoured.

Can they get away in time? With the force shield cracking up, and the Dreamhome itself deciding who should or should not leave, things are looking desperate...

Featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit Doctor Who series from BBC television.

2.0 out of 5 stars Feels like incompetently written fanfiction 30 Jun 2009
By Eris
Format:Hardcover
Even though the idea of the voracious craw, an unstoppable eating machine, is a good one and could have made for an interesting story, most of the book feels underdeveloped and repetetive. The members of the "family in distress" come across as cardbord characters and even though one crisis follows another the plot is boring and predictable. I've read most of the New Who - novels but this is the first one I found so disappointing I only skimmed through at the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars Soem good ideas, but... 28 Oct 2007
By Lizzie Boleyn
Format:Hardcover
The basic premise of this story is fascinating, and there are some wonderfully graphic descriptions, but while Barbara, Toaster and Domovoi are genuinely well-written, the other main "guest cast" are more or less cardboard cut-outs, including the boy I think I was supposed to empathise with. What was supposed to be a revelation about the woman, too, was obvious to me from her first appearance.

The Doctor and Martha are OK, but overall, I found Sick Building one of the more forgettable additions to the Doctor Who range

Paul Magrs writing Doctor Who is always a tricky prospect. I like his writing, but in the past, particularly in his 8th Doctor work, he has sidelined the Doctor. Read more
