Doctor Who: Hunter's Moon
Paul Finch
BBC Books
'There's no end to the horror in this place - it's like Hell, and there are devils round every corner.'
On Leisure Platform 9 gamblers and villains mix with socialites and celebrities. It's a place where you won't want to win the wrong game.
With Rory kidnapped by a brutal crime lord, the Doctor and Amy infiltrate a deadly contest where fugitives become the hunted. But how long before they realise the Doctor isn't a vicious mercenary and discover what Amy is up to? It's a game that can only end in death, and time for everyone is running out.
Stopping at an outer rim space station to visit an old friend seemed like a good idea until Rory and the TARDIS get taken away in a gambling debt and Amy goes legging it after them. The Doctor is forced to disguise himself as a big game hunter in order to infiltrate the gangsters who have Rory lined up to be the prey in their next hunt.
It fairly romped along this one. Lots of action, some fun villainy, a bit of human interest and a couple of cool Doctor moments.
Nothing to make a fuss about but good solid fun.
