The twist on Robert Louis Stevenson's black spot is ingenious but it was lost in the clumsy pastiche of established stereotypes. The monster, for example, is the love child of a Wookie and the Vogon guard. ( )Pretty good stuff. A quick read. I'm not a huge fan of olde tyme pirates in space, but it worked out well enough. I enjoyed Kevin. I don't exactly have the ending worked out ahead of time, so that's always nice. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1198040... An unexceptional sf adventure involving space pirates and anthropomorphic robots. This must have been one of the first Tenth Doctor books - his character seems very Nine-ish in places. Also he is rather too eager to kill off the baddies. Doctor Who: The Resurrection Casket is an interesting story that is a fast and enjoyable read. The Doctor and Rose get stuck in a technological dead zone where neither the TARDIS nor modern technology works. As a result, Starfall’s residents rely on steam power for daily tasks and even space travel. I guess they have a lot of water. Soon after landing the Doctor and Rose realize that something is wrong. I found the pseudo-bad-guy seriously absurd. Aside from that, the story is very good and the banter between the Doctor and Rose is fantastic. The ending is a bit predictable but nevertheless rewarding. no reviews | add a review
