Lungbarrow

For the 7th Doctor, the producers/story editor came up with a new, expanded, mysterious backstory for the character. Sadly, when the BBC quasi-cancelled the original run much of that material fell by the wayside.

The novel “Lungbarrow” was intended to use that material which I eventually read out of curiousity.

Unfortunately, the framing plot is extremely bad and reads more like a horrible Scooby-Doo/Doctor Who crossover fanfic.

Moreover, the author, tries to be too clever for his own good making for a confusing and dull read.

While the background material was interesting (although vague and non-comittal), everything else in this book underlines, highlights and adds a blink tag to why I usually avoid media tie-ins like the plague.
