The Beast of Babylon by Charlie Higson
4.0
A brilliant read - 4*
I loved the setting of this story. It was set just after the battle with the Nestene Consciousness (New Who: Rose) when Rose Tyler decided that she didn't want to go travelling with the doctor. Now for viewers of that episode, it was two maybe three seconds before he was back offering her the journey of a lifetime. Yet for the Doctor, it was a whole adventure and this is what this book is centred on.
I really enjoyed the Doctor not having a human companion for once -it was very interesting! Despite this, it still showed the Doctor's compassion for Earth and mankind.
A really interesting read.
