4.0 out of 5 stars A dystopian nightmare, 14 Nov 2005
By Binro The Heretic "mattieboyz" (Hillsborough, Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
After a blistering start 'Warlock' seems to lose its way a little but salvages 4 stars with its ending.
I agree with the previous reviewer that it is startlingly different from anything in the series so far and in many ways is not a Doctor Who story at all. Apart from the absence of the Timelord from the majority of the novel the sheer blackness of the tone and savage indictment of humanity on every level make it more akin to something written by Irvine Welsh. If you are an animal lover it would be wise to avoid this one - cats, dogs and rodents are brutally tortured - and the humans don't fare much better, particularly the hapless Ace.
The depiction of a future dominated by the most sinister drug ever created (the eponymous 'Warlock') is almost Orwellian; I kept waiting for the nasty bits to turn out alright but they generally failed to do so; the depiction of the torture of a small cat did almost put me off reading any further but it is worth sticking with this one as it'll probably never be matched in terms of the way the 'Whoniverse' is depicted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing - A new vision for Doctor Who, 16 May 2002
This story is absolutely amazing! I was gobsmacked when I first read it, there never has, nor will be a Doctor Who story like it. The story is set in a very dark and nasty future with some horrific events depicted. I adored the style and the vision Andrew Cartmell had. It's just a shame there will never be a Doctor Who like it again.
This is really a sequel to the Doctor Who NA "Warhead" and features some of the same characters. I did feel that some of the characters seemed a little different than in the first book, but this is easily explained by the time gap between the two stories.
You don't need to read the first story to appreciate this one, but it helps. After reading Warlock, I felt that Warhead was largely preparation for this (in my opinion - much better) book. The sequence of stories is concluded in "Warchild" which didn't seem as good to me.
If you like dark stories, set in a very nasty future, get this. You'll benefit if you've read Warhead, but it isn't essential.
