Doctor Who: The Nightmare of Black Island by Mike Tucker
4.0
This is actually the first Who book I've ever read, so I don't have anything to compare it with, as a book. But I have listened to many Big Finish adventures, and in that context I think this story would end up among the better ones.
Except it's probably more gorey than even the edgier BF plays, let alone the TV version. Surprised it didn't give *me* a few nightmares.
I thought the characterisation of Ten and Rose was pretty good, though I did wonder, after finishing the book, and learning that the author used to write Seven & Ace novels, if this story wouldn't fit those two better after all.
That I suppose is a compliment, I love Seven & Ace, so putting Ten & Rose into this kind of story only made them cooler. ;)
