An ingenious plot with satirical intent is the great strength of this Doctor Who novel featuring Rose Tyler and Captain Jack on a convincing dystopic planet. The capriciously brilliant Doctor and a pragmatic Rose were much more effective than Jack, who seemed slight by comparison. ( )

This one had a good plot idea. I liked the fiction-less society and the "fiction geeks" and I loved the way the Static channel turned out. ( )

The Stealers of Dreams takes us to a rather unlikely planet where both fiction and government have been outlawed, resulting in a heavily policed and medicated society. Some good ideas, and nice capturing of the Doctor and his companions, but my science-fictional soul prefers settings that feel a bit more alien rather than just London give or take a few features necessary to the plot.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0563486384, Hardcover)

In the far future, the Doctor, Rose, and Captain Jack find a world on which fiction has been outlawed. A world where it's a crime to tell stories, a crime to lie, a crime to hope, and a crime to dream. But now somebody is challenging the status quo. A pirate TV station urges people to fight back, and the Doctor wants to help - until he sees how easily dreams can turn into nightmares. With one of his companions stalked by shadows and the other committed to an asylum, the Doctor is forced to admit that fiction can be dangerous after all. Though perhaps it is not as deadly as the truth...
