Books read in 2021 - No. 4
Hi Folks
Well I've managed to whizz through 4 Doctor Who books in January and February as predicted, but it is an easy task when each book is about 250 pages long. It is also made easy by how much fun they are, as they are fun filler books to bump up my reading count.
In March the real challenge begins reading big, adult books - The Rigante by David Gemmell. There are 4 in the series and I hope to read 2 in March, and 2 in April. Most book nerds and Booktubers would probably be able to read all 4 in a month.
Well back to The Nightmare of Black Island by Mike Tucker. With the other Doctor Who books I have read, this is also a well written enjoyable romp. Mick Tucker worked on the Sylvester McCoy Doctor Who show and co-wrote some 7th Doctor novels, so he knows his stuff.
A Welsh coastal town is being attacked at night by horrible monsters, as the children of the village have nightmares.
An abandoned Lighthouse on the Black Island shows sign of life, and a nearby rectory is being used again to look after the elderly. Could there be a connection?
Only one man can find out - the Tenth Doctor and Rose.
This is another fun ride, with plenty of scares and cliff hangers and plot twists. If I hadn't read it, I wouldn't believe so much could fit in 250 pages but Mike Tucker does it with ease. With great pacing and characters including a great Doctor and Rose plus the girl Ali, and the mysterious Mr Morton at the old rectory, and his assistant Miss Peyne.
Overall - Another fun Doctor Who book and now one of my favourites. These are great little adventures and another that kept me up late wanting to read on. The only problem with these books is that they are too short!
Score - 8/10
