Gallifrey. The Doctor's home planet. For twenty, thousand centuries the Gallifreyans have been the most powerful race in the cosmos. They have circumnavigated infinity. and eternity, harnessed science, conquered death. They are the Lords of Time, and they have used their powers carefully. But now a new force has been unleashed, one that is literally capable of anything. It is enough to give the Time Lords nightmares. More than that: it is enough to destroy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor, Heal Thyself, 26 Jun 2000
By A Customer
A superb tour de force, this is the only Dr Who novel that I've ever felt compelled to read through from start to finish in one sitting and its best feature is that it pays only subtle and tangential homage to the tangled and increasingly tedious continuity of the Dr Who tv series and films. This book demonstrates that you can wipe the slate nearly clean and still create a fascinating mystique within the pages of a single volume, something the scriptwriters of the tv series could have done with learning long before the series' demise. This should....MUST....be the Shape of Things to Come. The Doctor is dead, long live the Doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique view at a phenomenon, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Having written the first cross-over New Adventure (Cold Fusion) Lance has written the most unique Doctor Who book ever. This isn't an eighth Doctor novel, or a first, or an anything-th, this is a story of what might have been. While still being "Who"-ish, it manages to conjour up a whole new world for the Doctor. It's not explained why he is where he is, or when it is, and there are no references to all the nice little things from his past, such as companions or old enemies. This is a fascinating look at where things might be if a different direction had been taken during the 80s, or if it had not been cancelled, or if the Movie had led to a series. Don't expect this book to fit neatly into any chronology so far written, even Lance's own impressive "A History of the Universe", it's to be taken as a celebration of everything The Doctor has been, is, and may be in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars a celebration of "THE DOCTOR" as a concept a mythology, 21 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I'm actually only half-way in reading this book, and I don't want to spoil any of its surprises, but Mr. Parkin has again written a splendid tale of " THE DOCOTR ". This isn't the 5th or 7th Doctors whom he's captured before, and while This Doctor is written for Paul McGann, it's really a "general" DOCOTOR to celebrate the series 35th Anniversay. The story concerns " THE DOCTOR " who has returned to Gallifrey after centuries of wandering to take up his rightful place amoungst his people...while murder, alien invasion, a little romance (?), and several cryptic-flashbacks occur on Galifrey. Mr. Parkin again weaves a tangled-web amidst the timelines.
