Several days ago I started to read the book Doctor Who: Illegal Aliens by Mike Tucker and Robert Perry. However, I have not had much time to read so I am only 6% of the way through the book. (I read on the kindle application) I have several predicitons and also several questions about the book. I will start with the predicions, if thats O.K. (It is) First off, I think that the main character thus far, McBride, will soon meet the Doctor, reason being that McBride just had an encounter with something that seems to be alien, and if you know anything about Doctor Who, you will know that the Doctor is attracted to this type of thing like a magnet. A second prediciton that I have made is that McBride will get taken by military intelligence. My reasoning behind this prediction is that he is not cooperating with the police, and they are threatening to hand him over to millitary intelligence. (I know, not very imaginative...) To show how uncooperative he is being take a look at this quote from 6% of the way through (Kindle application) "I've said what I've got to say. If you don't believe me then that's your problem."
Next up is my questions, or specifically my one big question thus far. At what point will we meet the Doctor? Typically Doctor Who books start out either from the point of view of the Doctor, or if not then a brief chapter from the point of view of a character that meets some type of alien or some type of problem. This book seems to adhere to the latter. Just one thing. It is definitly not a brief chapter.
I am begining to wonder if this book is going to be different than anything that I have read before, which might not be a bad thing. Anyway, it is a great book and if you get the chance you should read it. I will probobaly say that about every Doctor Who book, aside from Doctor Who: The King's Dragon. Don't read that one.

Doctor Who: Ten Little Aliens by Stephen Cole - What Keeps Me Coming Back
Since my last post, I have been doing a lot of reading. A lot of it. Several days ago I found the book Doctor Who: Ten Little Aliens by Stephen Cole on the kindle store - otherwise known as the place I get all of my books. As I am sure you can tell from the title, (hopefully...) it is another Doctor Who book. I hope you are noticing a theme. I am nearly at the end of it, and let me tell you, it is an amazing book. This is the first book I have read about the first Doctor. (For those of you who don't know, there are 11.) I had no idea what to expect, and I was worried that it would not be able to hold my attention. As it turned out, there was no need for concern.
This book has held my rapt attention all week. It even managed to get me away from my computer, which is difficult to do. The thing that kept me picking it up was the fact that it was very similar to the other Doctor Who books I have read, and yet also so different. There is constant action, and this makes it hard to put down becuase there really is no good time to put it down. I did not keep count, but there have been at least 5 major plot twists thus far. I have absolutely no idea what to expect next! (If you don't want a spoiler, don't read the next sentence.) This morning I was absolutely dumbfounded when one of the main protagonists revealed that they were actually working against the protagonists. Is that a plot twist, or is that a plot twist? To sum up my experience with this book in one word: AMAZING! (speaking of words, did you know that hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words? I hope I spelled it right.) I would highly reccommened that you read this book. Like me, you won't be able to put it down.

Doctor Who: Fear of The Dark By Trevor Baxendale – Why I Chose this book
I have recently begun to read the
book Doctor Who: Fear of the Dark by Trevor Baxendale. There are many
reasons that I decided to read this book. One is that I really enjoy the science
fiction genre. Another is that I am a huge Doctor Who fan. Yet another reason
that I chose to read this book is I was intrigued by the title.
As I
mentioned, one reason that I decided to read this book was that I enjoy the
science fiction genre. I have read hundreds of books over the past few years,
and almost every single one of them was a science fiction book. I really enjoy
the idea that, in the future, some of the things I read about might actually be
possible. This interest in science fiction lead me to pick a science fiction
book to read.
Another
reason that I chose this book was I am a huge Doctor Who fan. I have probably
read almost a hundred Doctor Who books in that last year or so. One reason I am
attracted to Doctor Who books because each book is its own independent story,
so I doesn’t matter what order you read them. Another reason is all of the
novels are written by different people, so I get exposed to many different
writing styles and techniques.
The
final reason that I chose to read this book was I was intrigued by the title, Doctor
Who: Fear of the Dark. In one of my favorite Doctor Who television
episodes, there was a race that was a living shadow that ate anything it came
into contact with. Based on this episode, I thought that this book might have
something to do with it. And while thus far it does not seem like it will, it
is still an amazing book.
