Doctor Who: Frontier Worlds by Peter Anghelides

2.0

Too much body horror, not enough plot. Theoretically this is a sci fi story about the possibilities and dangers of GMO crops, but the only takeaway is that Monsanto-style shenanigans are preferable to mad scientists warping their brains by trying to cross themselves with plants in an effort to achieve immortality.

Okay then.

The subplot with Fitz's love interest left a bad taste in my mouth.
SpoilerThe fridgiest fridge plot ever to fridge, so Fitz's quote-unquote character development via man!pain didn't do it for me. Extra points: she's the only explicitly-stated person of color in the book AFAIR. Also, I just started [b:Doctor Who: The Shadows of Avalon|175607|Doctor Who The Shadows of Avalon|Paul Cornell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172435208s/175607.jpg|169650] and Fitz is pining over a different woman he left on a different planet.
Nice. By which I mean, fuck you.
