5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 8 Sep 2006
By K. Redhead "kooky" (Gallifrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but a bit repetetive, 24 May 2001
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant dream that decends into a nightmare, 17 May 2006
By Sam "samueltyler" (Reading, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The BBC collection of Doctor Who books which centre around the exploits of the eighth doctor have been very good to me. The ones that I have read have all been very acceptable slices of sci fi action. It is unfortunate then that this run should end with 'Dreamstone Moon'.

The story begins very well with Sam, the doctors latest companion, being found lost in space and brought to a moon where mysterious moonstones are being mined. The doctor is missing and she is left alone to deal with the strange occurrences that are starting to tear the very fabric of the moon apart. Can Sam find the doctor and save the moon?

The answer is that by the end you really won't care so much! Science fiction can become dangerous close to being overly complicated and confusing. 'Dreamstone Moon' falls directly into this trap and doesn't even touch the edges. By the second third of the book I began to lose track of what was going on as a promising initial story is wasted by the author.

The story leaps around introducing new characters only to kill them off two pages later. What really upsets me about this particular novel is that it starts so well. One for Doctor Who completists only, may I suggest 'The Year of the Intelligent Tigers' as a better 8th doctor book to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable, but it doesn't stand out
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... Read more
