Emily's Reviews > Doctor Who: Players

What a fun book! I was pleasantly surprised. Doctor Who books can be hit or miss. This was a hit. I have never actually seen a Colin Baker episode. He's the only one. He has such a bad rap though I didn't know if I would like it. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. There's a cameo from the second doctor. There's reference to the seventh doctor. I like how the books can make better use of the future as many are now written well after the time. I think if I took the book too seriously I wouldn't have enjoyed it but I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. Another help was I had just seen the film Young Winston only a few weeks ago on the telly which explained the Boer War years. The only downside is that there were too many Americans. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read.
