Alexander King-Grey
March 5th, 2016 - 5:42amHave got The Roundheads, Amorality Tale and The English Way of Death from Dymocks Bookshop in Hobart yesterday for my birthday. Eager to read The English Way of Death as it will probably be my first Virgin book and everyone really loves it.
Alexander King-Grey
July 24th, 2015 - 9:12amWill definetly try to get “Human Nature” as I reckon it’s my mothers favourite Doctor Who story, certainelty she loves it and it hopefully is a great read like everybody says. The others sound awesome, for example “The Witch Hunters” and “Amorality Tales” ecspecially, my dad’s is Jon Pertwee by the way. It is a shame they didn’t have a 5th,8th and 9th Doctor story, they would have been interesting. I really hope I can buy them, as they do sound spectacular.

Doyouhearthem
November 28th, 2014 - 10:29amLovely! But I should like some brand new novelisations for doctors 5, 8 and 9.
Also, any chance of a complete set?
matparks08
November 28th, 2014 - 7:57amAlways good to see the 90s new/missing adventures re-appear, shame about missing out a couple of the Doctors though
The Nameless
November 28th, 2014 - 4:19amLooking forward to ALL of these!
But I am disappointed that no Eighth Doctor novel made the list. I was thinking in particular about The Turing Test by Paul Leonard, since all you need to know is that the Doctor is stranded on Earth and amnesiac and since Alan Turing has been in the headlines lately (the royal pardon in 2013, Codebreaker in 2011, The Imitation Game with Cumberbatch, etc.)
Eighth Doctor novels reprints are always a welcome. Otherwise, cool cool cool!
anon
November 28th, 2014 - 12:55amBe worth having for Human Nature alone.
DavidH
November 27th, 2014 - 11:41pmA First Doctor story set in Salem? Count me in!

Anonymous
November 27th, 2014 - 10:22pmHuman Nature and The English Way Of Death, plus The Roundheads. I think we may all want this. Price on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dr-Doctor-Who-Human-Nature-The-novel-on-which-the-TV-story-was-based-Fab-/171543095719?pt=Fiction&hash=item27f0c3e9a7
Alpha Omega
November 27th, 2014 - 10:06pmMore to add to the list 😛
Drewsko
November 27th, 2014 - 9:48pmAw, there’s a couple of 8th novels that could’ve rocked this theme. I mean, he had a whole arc about being an amnesiac living through the 20th century they could’ve used. Or would that have been too confusing for non-EDA-mindset readers (Then again, if they used Earthworld set just after that arc for the 50th line)
Sam Richard Bentley
November 27th, 2014 - 8:55pmI already own the original Dead of Winter, and so since there isn’t one for each Doctor – I’ll get the others. They look gorgeous!REALLY excited about Human Nature!
