Books read in 2020 - No. 4.
Hi Peeps
Have just finished The Stealers of Dreams by Steve Lyons. A very good book and sadly the last one to feature the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston. I'm sad about that. Hope he comes back in a special or in audio adventures.
Anyway The Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack arrive on a world similar to ours. A colony world in the future which the Doctor notices shouldn't be as similar to our age and should have moved forward.
What has happened is that everyone has stopped using their imagination and dreaming - there is a good twist as to why. So the Doctor sets out to right this wrong. But can Rose and Jack stay out of trouble and not end up in the Big White House?
Overall - a solid adventure for the Ninth Doctor although did slow down in some parts. Plus read carefully or you'll miss what is imagination and what is real. It also is a good commentary on the News we watch and what to believe.
With good secondary characters and good writing by Steve Lyons it is so far one of my favourite Doctor Who books.
Score - 7/10
