![]() ![]() ![]() See sense, Steven Moffat! Give him another chance! It is a constant source of annoyance to me that he has been ostracized by the Dr Who 'community' simply for telling it like it is, and is therefore unofficially banned from writing any more Who books. Miles is a wonderful writer, incredibly witty, and has more brilliant ideas than most Who writers put together. Also, neither book made any real reference to 'The War', a concept Miles had established in his previous book, Alien Bodies, which I was a little disappointed by. The Earth sections are a little preachy, and take an awfully long time to really get anywhere, whereas the sections on Dust are punchy and full of fascinating ideas. The Earth sections make up the majority of the text, but I found the sections on Dust immesurably better. ![]() The one problem I had was: The two books are structured in four sections What Happened on Earth Part 1 and What Happened on Dust (a desert-y planet) Part 1 in Book One, and What Happened on Earth Part 2 and What Happened on Dust Part2 in Book Two. It is (of course) a two-part book, so by it's nature this one 'feels' better simply because narrative threads are tied up and a number of excellent twists are revealed here, whereas Book One merely sets things up, so to speak. I was very nearly late to lectures because of sitting in bed reading the end of this one morning. ![]()
