Doctor Who: Lungbarrow by Marc Platt
4.0
This was my first 'New Adventures' novel and, as far as I can tell, the last one before the 1996 TV movie. I have been led to believe that the NA stories got more intelligent and more 'adult' as they went on and this is certainly the case here. With questions about identity, family and racism, the Lungbarrow is surprisingly complex. It also manages to tie, very tightly, into Doctor Who continuity and the TV companions (Ace, Leela, Romand and K9) characters that appear in the story are very recognisable as the characters from the television.
This was available from the BBC website as an ebook - which is a good thing considering that the paperback is going for silly money on Amazon - but has been taken down in one of the Beebs redesigns. It is, however, still floating around out there and Google search* should turn it up in an e-readable form fairly easily.
(*As this book is ostensibly a BBC production, I feel obliged to mention that other search engines are available.)
