DW: Sting of the Zygons

Hey Guys,

welcome the 13th adventure of the New Adventure Book Series ‘Sting of the Zygons’ with the tenth Doctor and Martha Jones. The enemies in this book is obviously the Zygons. I got as part of the Monster Collection. The TARDIS lands on the 16th September 1909. They stay at least for three days. For Martha it is some point after Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks.

Zygons

I never was a big fan of these particular monsters. This book doesn’t change it. The thought that they can take any form might be a little unsettling. They are planner and strategic what makes them more dangerous than a lot of other enemies of the Doctor. In ‘Sting of the Zygons’ how ever we see a little different side of the Zygons than before. We learn how desperation looks on them.

Zygons and the hunters

The monster of the Zygons the Skarasen goes lose and kill a lot of humans and a second one is found dead. The Doctor and Martha arrive shortly after these events. They found also a dead Zygon. Maybe an alien hunter is out their hunting the Zygons down. But what ever it is the Doctor has to find out.

The little Ian

Like always the Doctor and Martha make a lot of friends really fast and get thrown out be as much people too. I loved the most Martha’s little friend Ian. Martha has to fight in this time to be taken seriously and all man want to put her on the side lines. But we all know Martha and she never just sits on the sideline. Ian is a young boy who don’t care for this world views. He likes Martha and the get on really well and fast.
Ian is putting himself in danger all the time. I am not even sure that he gets the danger he is in most of the time. But he trusts Martha is always there to help her out. It is really sweet how this two always save each other.

Reading or not

The book is not bad but it is not good either. I don’t like the story very much and the monster are not my thing. The characters except for Ian are not so sympatric. There are a few fun scenes but it is just my book.
