Doctor Who: City of Death by James Goss

4.0

Completely delightful - this story was born in a convoluted way, first as a Doctor Who four-part story script by David Fisher, then picked up and finished off by Douglas Adams (with whom you may be familiar) and then produced and made into the serial City of Death with the 4th Doctor, and then made into this book by James Goss working from Douglas' script notes and directions from 1979. The result is like reading vintage Adams, and indeed, story elements from this got made into parts of the first Dirk Gently book. Goss is Adams' heir apparent in many ways, and while this story is lark, it's a properly made, quality sort of lark.
