Doctor Who: The Coming of the Terraphiles by Michael Moorcock
3.0
I love Michael Moorcock's prose. I really do. It's trippy, fun and has that existentialist vibe that makes you stop everything to go on a tangent about the nature of the universe, fate and life. It's absolute perfection in his own books, but somehow it doesn't meshes very well with Doctor Who.
The story was too zany and strangely straight-forward at the same time, the secondary characters were interesting but had little to nothing to do with the actual story, and the author didn't seem very interested in representing the 11th Doctor or Amy. It definitely feels like the Doctor and A Companion, but not 11 and Amy. A parallel universe Doctor, maybe.
Still, this is a better book than so many other Doctor Who novels by the sole virtue of being well written.
