Doctor Who: Only Human by Gareth Roberts
5.0
I've always liked Gareth's stuff, and it was brilliant when he started writing episodes for Doctor Who. The first batch of hardcover books to tie in with the relaunched series were a bit of a mixed bag. Gareth Roberts conveyed the feel of the TV series much better than most, and served the characters of Rose and Captain Jack much better. For once the Captain is quietly doing a responsible job, and not trying to snog everyone in sight. Rose reflects her TV counterpart's practical streak, tracking down local information by asking a woman in a nail bar.
The story itself, concerning an illegal time machine in prehistoric Bromley, also fits the tone of the 2005 series, but with a larger budget. It manages to be both horrific and funny, often at the same time. Easily the most accomplished of the Eccleston novels.
