The Beast of Babylon by Charlie Higson

adventurous fast-paced

3.25

Far too short for its own good, but a fun enough read. Set in the moments between Nine’s disappearance and reappearance at the end of “Rose”, this story sees the Doctor tackling a Starman - a planet eating being with its eyes set on Earth. Nine’s a bit more brutal than we’re used to seeing him, but Higson perfectly captures Eccleston’s voice. The pacing is all over the place, slow when it needs to be faster and way too fast when it needs to slow down. But for what it is, it’s fun enough.
