Book Reviews of The Colony of Lies (Doctor Who)
Book Review: A Big Fat Lie
Summary: 2 Stars
COLONY OF LIES is a woefully disappointing novel, not least because there are comparatively so few adventures available with the 2nd Doctor at the helm. Author Brake manages to capture some of the flavor of the Troughton era, and comes as near as he's able to portraying the characters as we knew them; the trouble lies in the feeling of an enormous amount of padding to bring this work in at novel length. The attempts to infuse the tale with a sense of the Old West fail miserably, this tack being used strictly in an effort to come up with a "'Doctor Who' western". Bleh -- "The Gunfighters" was more entertaining and (blessedly) much shorter. I wonder whether David A. McIntee and/or Mark Gatiss could be influence to take further strolls through the 2nd Doctor's era?...
