On a lonely stretch of Welsh coastline, a fisherman is killed by a hideous creature from beneath the waves. When the Doctor and Rose arrive, they discover a village where the children are plagued by nightmares, and the nights are ruled by monsters. The villagers suspect that ancient industrialist Nathanial Morton is to blame, but the Doctor has suspicions of his own. Who are the ancient figures that sleep in the old priory? What are the monsters that prowl the woods after sunset? What is the light that glows in the disused lighthouse on Black Island? As the children's nightmares get worse, the Doctor and Rose discover an alien plot to resurrect an ancient evil... |

My first - and still my favorite! |
After jumping head-first into the world of Doctor Who a few months ago, I quickly found that simply watching the show was not enough. I decided to take the plunge and start reading the novels too. This happened to be the book I chose and wow, I could not have picked a better one! Mike Tucker really knows his Ten, and Rose - their voices and interaction with each other are spot-on! The story itself is very well-written; it's scary, thought-provoking, and even funny at times, just as all good DW adventures should be!
I've since read three more of the DW novels, and have found that none of them compare to this one - in quality of writing, character development, or plot. If you're interested in getting into these books, this is certainly the place to start! |

Dr Fixit Does It Again |
|
The Dr. Who books, devoted to the last three years, are formulistic and basicially themed alike. Ordinarily this would be a problem, but with these chracters it is a delight. Kind of like the Bond films and Sherlock Holmes pistaches. We expect something of The Doctor and we are not let down. Certainly "The Nightmare of Black Island" does not let the reader down and it is fast moving from cover to cover. As I said in a previous review, the books that have Rose Tyler make you miss her even more. However, the new partner on TV has grown on my family and I look forward to the books that include her. What has helped in this series of books is that the authors know who they are writing about Some, like Mike Tucker, have been associated with the TV series. |
