Eye of Heaven

The Doctor and Leela. Something about an expedition to Easter Island. People knocked out. Journeys on boats. Leela riding a whale. Some other crap.

Why do I choose to review this one this way? Cause it doesn't deserve any better. Any book that has to be presented in flashes back and forward cannot be taken seriously. I mean it reads as if someone dropped the manuscript on the floor on the way to the copier but just jammed it all back together and said it was meant to be that way.

Jim Mortimore should have done better. And he has done better; his first entries into Doctor Who were stellar tales in the Virgin New Adventures line with the seventh Doctor and his companions, but along came something called Parasite, which had some interesting insight into how the Founding Families of the Kaldor City society came to lose their power, but that book was finished off very suddenly when Mortimore decided that he could just tie off his Doctor Who book and write a Star Trek novel instead. It appears he wanted to do something artsy for his return. Jim, if you want to do art, use a paintbrush and leave Doctor Who alone.
