5.0 out of 5 stars End of the road for the seventh Doctor, 7 Feb 2005
Marc Platt has crafted a macabre and atmospheric tale to round off the seventh Doctor's continuing adventures. The Doctor and his companion Chris Cwej have returned to Gallifrey where the Timelord faces his most formidable of foes - his family. With previous companions Ace, Leela, K-9 and Romana along to witness the turmoil surrounding the house of Lungbarrow and its inhabitants. Worse still, the Doctor has been framed for a murder that took place 673 years ago. Flashbacks to the Doctor's youth and relationship with his estranged cousins hint at a unknown depth to the myth surrounding the Timelord, and a conclusion that asks questions about his very origin create a spellbinding read.With vivid characterisations and a reverential tone to usher out the era of the most enigmatic Doctor, this is a highly recommended and sought after book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hisnamesalotlongerthanyoueverthoughtitcouldbe, 19 Oct 2008
By J. L. Maitland "Jas1Son" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really good book if you're a fan of Dr Who.

I first started reading Virgins New Adventures when I was 12, and I enjoyed them alot. As I was a Kid, I didn't get to collect the whole series at the time, so when i finally got to read this 12 years later when I was 24, I realised what I'd been missing.

Marc Platt tells a wildly intruiging story about the Doctor's past, well woven and well written. It centres around the Inhabitants of the Doctors Family House of Lungbarrow on Gallifrey, and in the story everyone in the house has been waiting 673 years for the Doctor to come home so that his patrons will and testimony can be settled, but then there's the matter of the murders.

The Seventh Doctor and Ace were always two of the better Doctor/Companion combos, and this story highlights that. Reading it now, also highlights the huge contrast between what the show was, and has now become...for better or worse.

Asking prices of £50-100 make this an expensive book, but it is a 'must have' for any serious collector or librarian.

4.0 out of 5 stars And so it ends..., 2 Sep 2007
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Lungbarrow is certainly a fitting finale to Virgin's New Adventures series, however it is not without its flaws. I would put it in the top five in the series - mainly for it's catering to the fanboy: old companions such as Leela, Romana and K9 are on-hand whilst Ace (now Dorothee)and Chris Cwej are both central to the action.
Platt is certainly one of the series' best writers; his succinct style and assured touch enable the novel to flow and maintain interest to the end - something that many of the New Adventures fail to achieve. Minor grumbles include the now familiar bombardment of Sci-fi jargon and a plot that never really makes a whole heap of sense. These aside, the story gives us some insights into the Doctor's shadowy deep past and lead nicely into what was to become a new dawn.
