Hmm. Not bad. Not outstanding either, but a pretty enjoyable tie-in book - one that I could easily see working as an actual Doctor Who episode (apart from me having given up on actual Doctor Who episodes with Eleven so in this sense, this was a lot better).Anyway, the TARDIS team - albeit it was pretty much the Doctor going off doing his own thing and Amy & Rory being left to cope on their own - worked fairly well, the plot about a bunch of feasting-on-minds aliens trying to take over Earth was

Great read! Completely copacetic with the show. Loved it!

One of the better Doctor Who tie-in books I've read lately, Paradox Lost is an interesting romp through timey-wimey stuff with dangerous killer aliens snapping at your heels. The TARDIS responds to a distress call, dragging the Doctor, Amy and Rory to a future London where an old, damaged AI is being dragged out of the Thames. The AI has a message for the Doctor from 1917, where he's met the Doctor before...I liked the way the pieces of this story fit together, even if some parts were painfully

This is a quick, but fun little Doctor Who story set in series six. I definitely preferred the second half of it, compared to the beginning. I also think that it could have made a cool tv episode. Mann does a good job of making Amy, Rory, and The Doctor come alive in the story and I enjoyed how the story is put together, even though sometimes things got a bit obvious. My main issue with this particular story is that the pace is all over the place. Either way, if you're a fan of the television se...

A clever and engaging story, with the lovely outsider P.O.V. narrative of the Doctor that makes stories about the Doctor so enjoyable. Also, what brilliant monsters!

I’m really going to have to take a step back and think about what it is I want from a book that’s set within a well-established era of ‘Doctor Who’. By well-established era, I mean a period of the show that has a beginning, a middle and an end (as opposed to the McCoy and McGann parts, both of which now do have endings, but there are still huge gaps one could drive the Number 22 to Putney Common through). Books set in an established era of the TV show can’t just drop companions, or have the Doct...

One of the better Doctor Who books I’ve read in a while. Love reading about future Earths. It’s funny, I listened to the audiobook, and this is the second time I’ve heard a reader give the 11th Doctor a 10th Doctor voice. It was sometimes a bit anachronistic, but not bad, necessarily. Just kind of funny. He’d emphasize syllables and words the way 10 does.

The Doctor, Amy, and Rory wind up in London in 2789, just in time to see an android dredged from teh Thames. But how could a model of android that's just been created be almost a thousand years old? And what does its warning to the Doctor mean?I'm not sure why I originally picked this up since I pretty much swore off reading George Mann after so-so experiences with The Affinity Bridge, The Osiris Ritual, and Ghosts of Manhattan. I think what sold me is that the plot description reminded me of th...

Rory, Amy and The Doctor have once again ended up where they didn't intend to go. They have landed in London in 2789, not the Rambalian Cluster. There there is a team dragging a thousand year old automaton out of the Thames. An automaton that recognizes The Doctor and gives him a warning that The Squall, a dangerous race of monsters that feed off psychic energy and destroy whole planets, are coming. Using his sonic screwdriver, The Doctor finds that he must go back to 1910 to fend off the invasi...

This is the third and final Doctor Who book in the little collection that my mum bought me, and I enjoyed Paradox Lost by George Mann too!This story follows The Doctor, Amy and Rory travelling from 2789 back to 1910. Not by any choice. Something had sent them back, and now it was hunting them. They end up split up, because of course they did, and having to work separately to figure out what was going on and solve a mystery which spans over a thousand years.On CAWPILE I gave this book: Characters...

This is an entertaining story, but one that is let down by the quality of writing which at times is a bit Dick and Dora-ish and clunky (with lines like "Rory looked at Amy. He couldn't believe she married him. He was the luckiest man in the world.")What makes this story work are the characters that The Doctor, Rory and Amy meet. For once there is a truly happy ending, and it was nice to see, especially after a middle section which lags and becomes a bit boring.

The title kind of says it all. It's one of those entertaining time travel stories that you might need a flow chart to understand. Despite this I found it both fast paced and entertaining and enjoyed both of the supporting characters Professor Angelchrist and the android Arven. I also enjoyed the various timey-wimey twists in the plot that come with a good complex time travel story like this one.

An Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) adventure featuring his companions Amy and Rory. The TARDIS is pulled off course and lands in London in the year 2789. There the Doctor learns that a parasitic extra-dimensional race called the Squall have begun invading London in 1910. He sets off to confront the Squall whilst Amy and Rory try to put a stop to the dangerous time travel experiment which caused the invasion in the first place.Whilst it could be said that this isn't a particularly innovative Who nov...

A distress signal homes the TARDIS to London in the year 2789, where the recovery of the remains of an android puts the Doctor, Amy and Rory in the middle of an invasion of psychic-harvesting creatures from another dimension. They discover that the Squall have invaded Earth on two fronts, in both 2789 and 1910. With the help of some unlikely allies, they must find a way to stop the Squall or face possibly the destruction of the entire universe.Overall, this is a great entry in the world of the D...

I really enjoyed this book. I love it when The Doctor visits Earth History, it’s like having a fun history lesson. George Mann did a fantastic job at writing this story and he portrayed The Doctor, Amy and Rory perfectly just as they appear in the TV series. The secondary characters Angelchrist and Arven were great. The Squall I think were really creepy and a great Alien race for the Doctor to save the Earth from. The fact they used the TARDIS telepathic circuits to communicate with the Doctor t...

This book was brilliant from start to finish. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory were great. Even the new characters, Arvin and Anglechrist, were awesome. I would love to see a follow up to this book with them teaming up with the Doctor again.

Similar to Doctor Who: The Way Through the Woods as this Eleventh Doctor story is set over two time periods. As The Doctor travels back to 1910, whilst Amy and Rory stay in London 2789 after an ancient android is dredged from the Thames.The sections set in the past are the strongest in this novel, I really liked the interaction between The Doctor and Professor Angelchrist.I wanted to rush over the Amy and Rory scenes to get back to the past!The Squall are a great alien that really added jeopardy...

Probably the best Doctor Who novel that I have read in quite a while. The main charcters personalities and charcteristics were very similar to the TV counterparts they are based on. So it was very easy to picture the Doctor, Amy and Rory charcaters in the situations and dialogues in this book. The storyline was not the most intriguing and a little predictable in places. But it was still a very nice smooth quick read. A lot more research seemed to have gone into this book in respect of the TV sho...

2.5 starsIt took me quite a long time to get through this book. Despite its interesting premise involving creatures that come through cracks in time (I guess the Reapers were too destructive for Mann's purposes), the story fell a little flat and the writing even seemed childish at times, clunky and unoriginal. There were two good supporting characters, the AI Arven and the retired old professor Angelchrist, which is quite a name, but these weren’t really enough to lift the story. The Eleventh Do...

It's a good Doctor Who adventure which is pretty faced paced, the enemy of this story is rather interesting and like the whole paradoxical elements to it, but I kinda wish there is more of it.
