Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Revolution Man is probably the best of Paul Leonard's work but has its problems. For a start there is far too much leaping about in the Tardis and the plot is only sporadically followed. Fitz's presence in China is confusing and this novel does little to show that he has been brainwashed. Sam is okay, though, and the relationship between Fitz and Maddie makes far more sense than most other things in this book. Later on a genuine sense of urgency comes across, but Leonard has presented the Doctor with such an all-powerful opponent that there is really only one solution all along. It's an average novel: nothing desperately wrong with it but not outstanding either. --David J Howe

Synopsis
An adventure featuring the eighth Doctor Who, Sam and Fitz, and set in the Swinging London of 1968. The TARDIS crew are investigating an anarchist group utilizing a drug that seems of an extraterrestrial nature, and how it connects to a series of bizarre, violent events world-wide.

Revolution Man is Paul Leonard's third and by far his best Eighth Doctor Who novel so far. Set on Earth in the late sixties, Leonard returns Dr Who to what got me hooked on the series in the first place - lots of time-travel, a mysterious, ponderous, sometimes manic, always magic Doctor!

Written in three parts, this is a story that gripped me right from the first chapter. The supporting characters are different, well spoken and come across as people rather than characters.

The Om-Tsar drug is a novel idea - although I felt too much about its origins were left unexplained. Perhaps this could be adressed in a sequal...!

I particularly like Fitz's strong storyline - his involvement with Maddie and subsequent maturing was written into the story very well - I just hope its not used as an excuse by future authors to dull-down his inherant cyncacism - his most attractive quality!

The story has plot holes - some holes are even larger than the ones my local council leaves in my high street - but the writing and charact
