go west - By: Paul Tapner, 31 Dec 2007
another tenth doctor novel, telling a new adventure for him & companion martha jones,in two hundred & thirty nine pages of relatively large print. As is the norm for this range. Also normal for this range the two main characters are perfectly captured on the printed page by the writer, & the book is suitable for all ages [although there are some deaths & a discussion of grief, but young readers should be able to handle it]

So is there anything to make this one stand out?

Yes.

The setting - the wild west of the 1880's, with the doctor & some aliens on track of a mysterious medicine man - is very well created. And this is quite appealing. The alien threat of the story is well realised, quite scary at points, & also quite original. The supporting characters are pretty good, & the plot keeps on moving & has some memorable moments.

It's quite an enjoyable read, & better than average. worth your time
