Book Reviews of Doctor Who: The Glamour Chase
Book Review: Engaging, character-driven, quirky aliens = Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a chance to really get to know (and further like) Rory. You should know who I mean if you're at all familiar with Season Five of the new BBC adventures of the eleventh Doctor.
This book had the occasional British turn, like phrasings such as "was sat" and "was stood" where "sat" and "stood" would have done - sorry, I am a grammarian, but that is in no way a knock against its writing. This book was fluent and intelligently written without fear of vocabulary. It treats the reader as a smart being.
This novel had really novel ideas for alien life and philosophy. It was driven by a not-too-large case, which I always prefer. The reader is given the opportunity to care about all or most of the characters. It has a nifty tie in with an earlier doctor identity too.
I would highly recommend this book. It's a page-turner, and again, it does something many of us have wanted: it delves into Rory as a fully fleshed human being and not the "three's a crowd" role he generally plays elsewhere, like Mickey in earlier seasons.
Summary of Doctor Who: The Glamour Chase
?Why are you here? I mean ? who are you, exactly?? An archaeological dig in 1936 unearths relics of another time... And ? as the Doctor, Amy and Rory realise ? another place. Another planet. But if Enola Porter, noted adventuress, has really found evidence of an alien civilisation, how come she isn?t famous? Why has Rory never heard of her? Added to that, since Amy?s been travelling with him for a while now, why does she now think the Doctor is from Mars?As the ancient spaceship reactivates, the Doctor discovers that nothing and no one can be trusted. The things that seem most real could actually be literal fabrications ? and very deadly indeed. Who can the Doctor believe when no one is what they seem? And how can he defeat an enemy who can bend matter itself to their will? For the Doctor, Amy and Rory ? and all of humanity ? the buried secrets of the past are very much a threat to the present...A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.Movie Tie-Ins Books
