Timewyrm: Genesys by John Peel

2.0

It sucks to give this books two stars since I love Seven and Ace, but this book was really not that good. The story was decent, but not particularly outstanding. None of the characters are really very likable, probably because they're all so ridiculously two dimensional. Then there's all the unnecessary references. I expect and enjoy some amount of references to previous Doctor Who events and characters, but most of the ones here felt rather crudely shoved in and out of place. Not to mention that at least one was wrong. The Doctor is reminiscing on places he's been with Ace and names someplace he went with Mel instead. And to top it off the relationship between Ace and the Doctor felt really off in places. Sure they bicker in the show, but there was an underlying meanness at times to their bickering here that felt really out of place. The Doctor particularly seems really callous when he ignores Ace's worries about the fact that Gilgamesh is acting really dangerously rape-y and the Doctor basically tells her to suck it up and sends her off alone with him repeatedly.
