Format:Paperback
Well, this has made enduring parts one and three of the arc worthwhile. There are so many good points to this book I don't know where to begin. It's not based around some psychotic aliens trying to kill lots of people gruesomely or take over the universe, but about the principal characters themselves, and only in its second life, through novels, has Doctor Who the opportunity to explore these themes. Another brilliant twist in the plot that they just couldn't do on TV is the sheer length of time this book spans, and how from now on you have to remember that Sam's a young woman. DOCTOR as a reflection of the The Doctor is an original enemy, and watching the Doctor fall apart in prison, whilst sad, at last breaks through this invulnerability he seems to have been given in previous books. Great stuff, as usual, from Blum and Orman. I shall have to go back to Vampire Science now...
Format:Paperback
Wow, what a book! The team of Blum & Orman strikes again! These two seem to be the only people who can really nail the personality of the Eighth Doctor.
Sam finds herself broke and alone on a foreign planet and ends up spending time at a homeless shelter where she eventually grows up. True to form, however, she hooks up with a libertarian group that helps build shelters for inhabitants in the desert. Through this group she continues her work she started on Earth with Greenpeace and groups like that.
The Doctor, in the meantime, is trying to find Sam and by hacking into the database of INCorp suspects Time Lord technology has been used to scoot along the planet's development and INC's profits. He ends up getting busted by the INC and is taken to a minimum-security prison in the desert where he is to be held - forever. They are afraid of his knowledge gained while in the systems. No matter what he does he cannot escape and when he is indirectly responsible for the death of another inmate during another abortive escape attempt he totally begins to lose his sanity.
Once Sam finds the Doctor on the prison lists and breaks him out the real hurt/comfort scenes begin and the book will tear your heart out. I felt physically worn out after finishing this story. Classic Doctor Who and a worthy addition to the Cannon.
Format:Paperback
I'm no expert, but please please please, whatever you do, get this. I don't know the ins and outs of why, but it's absolutely brilliant and a cracking end to the stunning four-book arc started in Longest Day. A don't-miss!

Finally the arc is over.
At last the Doctor trying to find Sam arc is over. This novel rounds of a hugely disapointing arc well enough. Read more
