Another nice, quick Doctor Who read. This book is about the planet Sunday, recently colonized by some advance settlers in preparation for more to come, when their town is hit with a giant tidal wave caused by a meteor. The Doctor and Martha arrive in the TARDIS after this event, but the TARDIS slips down into the muck with Martha still inside. The Doctor finds the locals but unbeknownst to him Martha is taken as she attempts to leave the TARDIS while it is underwater by a great, black tentacle. The
Doctor ends up finguring things out, what the tentacle belongs to, and with the help of the local fauna (small, otter-like beings) they foil a plot that would destroy the new colony. ( )

A big fan of M. Michalowski's other Doctor Who novels, I plunked down my 13 bucks and wrung my grubby palms in anticipation. I had some reservations regarding the NSA's as I had heard they were written for younger readers than the previous lines of Doctor Who novels (though this is disputed by some). If this instillation is typical - my fears were founded, and I should have resisted the book (at least until a used copy found its way to me).
Without giving too much away, the book features cute fuzzy otter beings that are sometimes sweet to human settlers and sometimes threatening. I'm tempted to say that is the long and short of the whole piece, but there were some interesting 'settlers under siege' moments, and a slightly more complex plot than 'sometimes otters... they don't like you so much'.
If you like your Doctor Who with a little more sci-fi substance, character and plot, save yourself the mild disappointment and head straight for Relative Dimentias (one of my favorite all-time Doctor Who novels, and written by Michalowski). ( )

Book description
        When the TARDIS makes a disastrous landing in the swamps of the planet Sunday, the Doctor has no choice but to abandon Martha and try to find help. But the tranquility of Sunday's swamps is deceptive, and even the TARDIS can't protect Martha forever.

        The human pioneers of Sunday have their own dangers to face: homeless and alone, they're only just starting to realize that Sunday's wildlife isn't as harmless as it first seems.

        Why are the native otters behaving so strangely, and what is the creature in the swamps that is so interested in the humans, and the new arrivals?
        The Doctor and Martha must fight to ensure that human intelligence doesn't become the greatest danger of all.
