War, uh-huh, what is it good for?,
By
This review is from: Doctor Who: Casualties of War (Mass Market Paperback)
*Meant to give this four stars!*
Casualties of War is initially a slow-burner, The Doctor seems to have lost his memory but this isn't immediately evident from the way he behaves, however when he arrives in a sleepy English village he is soon up to his eyes in mystery, death and zombies and things pick up. New writer Steve Emmerson has written in a prose style that is somewhat fragmented and occasionally disjointed but at least consistent. The plot has several holes, but Casualties of War is certainly more accessible than previous original novel `The Burning' in terms of plot, character, and writing style. The Doctor may no longer know who he is, but he is still as enigmatic and fascinating as he always was, and this is the novel's strength.

Casualty of sleep,
By Zac "Zac Thraves" (Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: Casualties of War (Mass Market Paperback)
A gripping read, any Dr Who book previous pales into insignificance. The Eighth doctor comes to Earth during the First world war and falls into a sleepy village that is being inhabited by ZOMBIES!. Once this has been established, a gripping yarn ensues, written as much like a detective novel as Agatha Christie would have been proud. To tell any more will ruin the book, but just read what is simply one of the best Sci-fi/Dr Who novels around.

Casualties Of War - Dr Who,
By
This review is from: Doctor Who: Casualties of War (Mass Market Paperback)
A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
I normally read Dean Koontz, Stephen King etc... This author Steven Emmerson kept me wanting more, I have bought his second book Dark Progeny and can't wait to read it. Casualties of War is brilliantly written and it is very easy to visualise the scenes taking place. Some great characters and nice bits of humour added to what can be a very dark, frightening story. I hadn't read any Dr who books but whilst reading this I could easily associate with the traits The Dr shows on TV. It is 1918 in North Yorkshire, The Dr arrives to help a village which is trying to cope with escalating attacks on their animals at night, a local hospital which treats shell shocked and war wounded soldiers is suspected of being involved but no-one knows how. I loved every page well !!!
