This is a book that says as much about humanity's regrowth after the Dalek invasion as it is about ecological protests against corporate greed. The humans are a bunch of rabid xenophobes you'd want to shoot rather than share chromosomes with and the greedy corporation of Dreamstone Inc is even worse. The Doctor and Sam almost run into each other a couple of times, narrowly avoiding each other a few times, which is a good thing as it builds tension and teases the reunion. New temporary companions Daniel and Aloisse are interesting, he's a jaded miner who only cares about providing for his family and she's a radical protestor who falls foul of the humans and suffers terribly at their hands. The premise of the story is pure Star Trek, alien moons coming to life, but there's a fresh Aliens twist as the military boot lands heavily on the situation.
This is a very ordinary story - the only thing that might make it stand out is that it is part 3 in this silly little Sam's run away arc, and that whilst Sam is in it, she never actually interacts with Doctor. In a way, I think that might be the problem, as for me it just doesn't really work. The plot itself is bland in my opinion, but you may want to read it for the further developments in Sam's character before you move onto the altogether better Seeing I...

It starts off well with quite a lot of promise, but it all slowly deteriorates as the novel progresses. It also gets more confusing with each page and eventually you get to the point where it feels like you are walking around with your head in a very thick layer of fog. And as for the climax... Well all I have to say is "did I miss something"? In fact it's more like "did I miss the entire novel" because that is what it feels like. Oh, and what is Mr Leonard's obsession with talking animals? Lions? Giant spiders? And this is the same man that brought us "The Turing Test"? Now there was a novel. However, this time around it just feels as though his heart wasn't in it.

A pleasant dream that decends into a nightmare
The BBC collection of Doctor Who books which centre around the exploits of the eighth doctor have been very good to me. Read more

Don't on any account read this book
I think the previous reviewer, Ian Paul Freeth, has got Dreamstone Moon confused with Seeing I. It is in the fantastically brilliant Seeing I that the Doctor and Sam spend three... Read more
