Book Description

31 Jan 2008
The Eighth Doctor faces new perils in this bumper collection of classic comic adventures!

This volume features eight amazing stories: THE FALLEN, UNNATURAL BORN KILLERS,
THE ROAD TO HELL, THE COMPANY OF THIEVES, THE GLORIOUS DEAD, THE AUTONOMY BUG, HAPPY DEATHDAY and TV ACTION!

The Doctor and his best friend Izzy are joined in the TARDIS by Kroton, a Cyberman with a heart
and soul! The action comes faster than ever as our heroes encounter genocidal Sontarans, vicious
space pirates, demented robots, mad gods, deadly samurai warriors... and the actor Tom Baker!

But the ultimate challenge is approaching; an epic, star-spanning battle that will decide the fate of all reality! An old friend is waiting to be reunited with the Doctor, while an even older enemy is lurking in
the shadows of time and space...

PLUS two bonus stories from the early days of Doctor Who Weekly, THROWBACK: THE SOUL OF A CYBERMAN and SHIP OF FOOLS, telling the origins of Kroton the Cyberman! AND a special six-page behind-the-scenes feature where writers Scott Gray, Alan Barnes and Adrian Salmon reveal background information on the stories¹ origins, alongside never-before-seen sketches and character designs from Salmon and fellow artists Martin Geraghty and Roger Langridge!

An essential collection for fans of Doctor Who and classic British comics!

4.0 out of 5 stars More Eighth Doctor goodness. 28 Aug 2006
By S. Bentley VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the second in Panini's collection of Eighth Doctor stories and again, you can see how comic strip sensibilities have informed the new TV series. As I mentioned in my review of End Game, in a way this is the best form that the McGann era has taken in following on from the TV offerings, mainly because it concentrates mainly on the plot, though with some choice character moments, and is presented in a visual medium, thus giving it an immediacy the audio plays and novels lack, however excellent they may be.

This collection sees Scott Gray settle into the writer's chair and it is in this collection that the Eighth Doctor comes alive for me. The previous collection had the Doctor a little distant, a little too generic, but the Eighth Doctor who cares so deeply for life comes through in this collection, particularly in the Glorious Dead, a tale of a battle for ultimate power which sees the return of the Master directly from the TV movie. It impresses with its scale and embracing of the comic strip form to deliver the concept of an omniversal spectrum. The first story is called the Fallen and deals with what happened to Grace Holloway after the movie. It's very suitable and when she doesn't go travelling with the Doctor at the end, you feel the same disappointment you felt at the end of the TV story. The likeness is very good and the characterisation spot-on. Also in this volume, an adventure in Japan's past, an encounter with intergalactic pirates and Kroton, the emotional Cyberman (surely inspiring Yvonne Hartman in Doomsday), and a visit to an asylum for delusional robots. But, in some ways, best of all are a couple of humour strips, celebrating various anniversaries.

4.0 out of 5 stars deadly sightseeing 27 Jan 2008
By Paul Tapner TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
First in the second series of doctor who audios featuring the eighth doctor and his new audio companion, feisty northern teenager lucie miller. As with the previous ones, this is a one part story complete in roughly forty five minutes, and there are fifteen minutes of interviews with the cast and crew right after that on the disc, followed by a trailer for the next in the series.

In this story, the doctor and lucie find themselves suddenly separated, and lost in london. but whilst the doctor is in medieval times facing death in the court of a nasty judge, lucie is trapped during the time of the first world war. And there's more to some of the people they come across than meets the eye. What's really going on here?

An entertaining little romp to start the new season with. A fun little script that gives great material to both of the lead actors - and some wonderfully big words in the dialogue that even the sixth doctor might not have used - and a story that is also rich in the sense of history of the capital. the pace does falter slightly towards the end and you will have to listen to the resolution carefully to get it straight in your mind, but a good little tale and really worth getting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, but Doesn't Go Far 1 Mar 2008
By DB
Format:Audio CD
Following on from the previous 8th Doctor releases these again are 45 minute stories with the Eighth Doctor and new companion Lucie Miller (Sheridan Smith), this is the first in the return of that new series. While it's essentially an OK instalment I am left disappointed. While it did have a reasonable plot, it lacked much action and was a bit ambition for just 45 minutes, when the plot could well have pushed further on. However the interviews are quite interesting to listen to and the trailer for Max Warp has me interested, I fear that this series will disappoint after the previous 8th Doctor stories.
