Product Description

Product Description
The 22nd Century, and a few short years of interstellar contact have taught Man a hard lesson: there are forces abroad that are nightmare manifest - powerful, unstoppable, alien forces. It's a realisation that deals a body blow to Man's belief in his own superiority, and leaves him with the only option he has ever had: to fight. When the Doctor and his friends are caught in the crossfire, they find suspicion and paranoia running rampant, with enemies to be seen in every shadow. The fight against alien forces is no job for an amateur, and for a Doctor only just finding his way in the universe again, one misstep could be fatal. This is a new adventure featuring the Eighth Doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Post eighth Doctor classic!, 22 Oct 2005
By Mr. J. Ford "joe8simon" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If there was ever an argument for introducing fresh blood into the Doctor Who fiction universe, Fear Itself would be at the top of my list of why it is vital. Nick Wallace is an incredible talent, the best we've seen since Lloyd Rose. His writing speaks for itself.

What really hammers home the effectiveness of Wallace's treatment of the regulars is the barrage of amazing twists at the conclusion. He manages to take what we know about each of these characters (in regards to this book) and turns it on its head.

A strong prose style eases you through the books pages, heavy on description but never shirking its emotional responsibilities to the characters. It is never short on incident (indeed the opening bomb attack and Anji's shocking sky dive into Jupiter's atmosphere sets the book off on exactly the right footing, not giving the reader a chance to adjust...) and the characters are always focussed, and reach a satisfying conclusion. The more I think about it, Fear Itself not only ticks all the right boxes but ticks them with confidence and style.

Score one for the new boy, Nick Wallace has crashed the party and proven this old hacks that they need to keep dishing up something original. Fear Itself is a superb book on any level, a novel that sucks you into its world, thrills you with its mysteries and gets you close to its characters. It is an experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars fear not.. , 6 Jul 2006
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
because sabbath isn't in this one! Published a few months after the end of the ongoing eighth doctor novels, it was a pleasure to go back to this tardis crew one more time, and it was an even greater pleasure to find it free of the annoying story arc that dragged on for far too long.

A very clever piece of writing, with well drawn characters and some very original ideas. There are twists that you won't see coming, and whilst you're constantly wondering 'how is this all going to fit in with what has gone before?' the writer manages to do just that. And not in ways you'd have expected.

Would that they'd all been this good
