Doctor Who: At Childhood's End by Sophie Aldred, Stephen Cole, Mike Tucker

5.0

At Childhood's End is a thrilling and truly sci-fi adventure featuring the 13th Doctor and companions as well as former companion Ace McShane. The story follows up with Ace, going by Dorthy again, where she is grown up and the head of A Charitable Earth. It is fantastic to hear about Ace after all of these years and even more so to see her get some closure with the Doctor. Since Ace travelled with the 7th Doctor, she had found her self being manipulated and pulled into his schemes. When she meets the newest regeneration, she is haunted by those emotions. These emotions are played off well but never take away from the plot.
The Novel, which is written by Sophie Aldred who played Ace is exciting and well written. I was originally concerned that this book would not have much depth and exist solely to be fun, adding no depth, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot is filled with alien abductions and space adventures, and Sophie Aldred manages to capture the exact essence of all of the characters. The highlights are obviously Ace, grown-up but still incredibly strong, Yaz being jealous of Ace, themes of morality, and of course the 13th Doctor, who herself is dealing with the emotions of her past with Ace and has to face up to her dark Past.
I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a thrilling Sci Fi adventure full of the Doctor, abductions, and many strange aliens.
