Timewyrm: Genesys by John Peel
1.0
It's bad.
To go a bit more in depth, I actually thought John Peel did a pretty good job at capturing the voices of the Doctor and Ace, and what makes those characters so charming and fun and how they work together. So I have to give it credit. But the book itself is dull and a lot of the dialogue and description are dumb. There’s also lots of skeezy things Ace wandering around naked with amnesia in her first appearance, or all the rapey shit. Basically badly misjudged attempts at being “adult.” The bit at the end where the Seventh Doctor decides he needs to mentally re-awaken the Third Doctor and have him take control is not good.
