Stephen Cole: Doctor Who – The Art of Destruction
These little Dr Who hardback books, aimed mostly at the children's market, are usually pretty undemanding and can be whizzed through in a couple of hours, satisfying a general lack of all things Doctor Who in the starvation year of no-proper-season-and-just-four-specials. Why, then, did this one take me weeks to finish? Stephen Cole is usually a reliable writer, but this book just didn’t spark for me at all. Set in 22nd century Africa it involves some priceless alien artworks buried in a dormant (or not) volcano, another set of alien treasure hunters, a scientist who wants to create a food crop to save the world, and a revolution. The protagonists are the Tenth Doctor and Rose... but they didn’t jump off the page at me this time. Sorry.
