DW: Illegal Alien

Hey Guys,
i finished all New Serie Adventure books that i have right now, so it is time to went on the Past Doctor Adventures and start with the fifth book of the serie – Illegal Alien. It good reprinted in the Monster Collection and features the Seventh Doctor and Ace. The Adventure took place november 1940 in London and Jersey. It seems that for the Doctors timeline it is set somewhere after the 26 season.

Ace and Cody

Beneath the Doctor this are two of the characters that have a bigger role in the story. Ace of course because she is the Doctors companion. I am not a big fan of her, but she is an interessting and unique character. For me she is a little too much into explosives. Yeah, this is special were i often love characters, who love gun (i myself hate guns – don’t ask why…). But maybe it is because she is doesn’t seem to know what she can destroy with it. Also somewhere in the book she said that she like the The Blitz time. What takes her into a position i don’t understand and don’t want to understand. But her journay on the book is a good one. She is confronted with reality and death.
Cody is a private detective and not really sympatic. He is not friendly and has a death wish. I get me totally on the wrong food and i don’t even thing he is a good detective. It is sad that they gave him such a big role. When characters like Mama doesn’t get enough line but still are in our heart.

Rogue Time

The Story is about cybermen. One of the most used monster. Yeah i like them and here we have a rogue cybermen. It seems like this cybermen is search for blood and kills like everyone is remembered of the Jack the ripper cases. It seems like the humans always wants to become cybermen for winning a war. It is always the same. The worst in this story are not the cybermen it is the humans that betray each other, kill each other and toture each other.

The book is not my favorite. It is not my companion, not my story. It was for me just boring.

DW: Scales of Injustice

Hey Guys,
i started to read the Scales of Injustice of the Monster Collection. The Story was printed as a part of the ‘Missing Story’-Serie. It featured the 3rd doctor, Liz Shaw and UNIT, it takes place between the Storys ‘Inferno’ and the ‘Terror of the Autons’. AHistory is ordering it between ‘The Blue Tooth’ (Companion Chronicles #13) and ‘the Devilgoblins from Neptune’ (Past Doctor Adventure #1).

Liz Shaw

I always like Liz. She is a good person, competent and really intellegent. But also very controlled and seems often a little cold. She is much alike with the 3rd Doctor. This way never get with them. They really devoleped a conaction to each other. They were colleges and nothing more. So simular to open up. I never was sad that Liz left UNIT. This book is the last adventure from in UNIT. At the end of the book she left and i think that is best decision she made in her life. She is better than be an assitent for the Doctor. She wasted her potential at UNIT. For Liz is example of someone which becomes better without the Doctor, better by leaving the behind. She moved. She really likes him and they could have amazing friends, but they never were.

Positive Thinks

I love the way we get an inside in every important UNIT member. We get a inside in the Doctor, Liz and most importantlly in Mike, Benton and the Brig. We see a part his private life. We see how it breaks apart. This for me the most important part of the book and the reason i like it. Also i love how the describe the relationship between Benton and Brig. Benton is always standing on the sidelines and often he is totally for gotten. We see the Brig or Mike from times but so less something of Benton. He was there from the beginning. He is so loyal and a good character and he needs more appreachiation.

Story

This whole thing with C19 and the Glashouse and so one doesn’t make much sense to me. It was chaos and everyone was special, changed and the story doesn’t get me. So we have that whole conspiracy and Silurian in the mix. The Silurian Story was also not the newest or best. But i love the last part when Liz is with them. It showed us that some people are better and Liz is one of them. I love how the take this story to give Liz a reason to leave and do good in her own way. She doesn’t run away from aliens and the danger. She choose to help them another way, maybe not direct way but an indirect way.
