Dec. 4th, 2024 05:32 amDoctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth by Terrance Dicks
A solid novelization of the story. It does seem like Dicks fleshes out the growing relationship between David and Susan a bit, which helps with the ending.
Fission #4: An Anthology of Stories from the British Science Fiction Society edited by Eugen Bacon and Gene Rowe
I picked this up, mainly because Eugen Bacon edited, and it is a solid anthology with many authors who were new to me. I love international anthologies for just this reason - finding new writers. They were from a wide range of Commonwealth nations, kind of like Eugen Bacon herself who was born in Tanzania, lived in the UK, and currently lives in Australia.
Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen by Terrance Dicks
Before the recent animation of the episodes, Dicks' novel was the only way to fully access this story.
Ghostdrift by Suzanne Palmer
The fourth book (and conclusion of) Palmer's Finder Chronicles series. She gives Fergus an ending with hope for his future.
We Solve Murders Richard Osman
Osman takes a break from the Thursday Murder Club with a new odd ball collection of amateur detectives.
Doctor Who and the Wheel in Space by Terrance Dicks
I definitely think this holds together much better than the broadcast story. One notable thing about The Wheel in Space (broadcast in 1968) is the inclusion of three women in leadership or scientific roles on the space station.
