Doctor Who Night Of The Humans David Llewellyn 9781846079696 Books

I received this book, the first of the three newly published Eleven & Amy adventures, on Friday, and finished it by Saturday afternoon. While the novels in general are mainly aimed at a YA audience, they are usually interesting enough to hold my attention and keep me turning the pages. Pretty much all of the new series Who novels are head and shoulders above the old Target novelizations, although not as complex as the series of novels published between the end of the old series and the 2005 reboot. For what they are, in general, I enjoy these as a "fix" when I'm hungry for new Doctor adventures between new episodes of the show.

Night of the Humans is a good start for the Eleventh Doctor. The TARDIS lands on a mysterious metal body that is where no planet is on record. The Doctor quickly discovers that he and Amy are on The Gyre--like those spots in the ocean where all the floating trash coalesce into a big patch, this is the equivalent in deep space, a spot where, due to gravitational forces of surrounding stars and planets, all sorts of space 'trash' has similarly piled up over millennia, to the point where the Gyre has its own gravity, atmosphere--and native inhabitants, who are all quite dangerous, including the humans.

Also on the Gyre is a spaceship filled with Sittun, another alien race who have their own mission to complete on the Gyre, and who are not fond of humans, from past experience as a people, as well as the hostility of the particular humans on the Gyre. There are some nice ideas developed over the course of the various interactions, including how a religion might evolve from a group's history over time, that to an adult reader are a bit cliched, but would definitely evoke that "hmmm..." sense of wonder from a young reader coming across such an idea for the first time.

The writing is good, the characters act in character (though I did have the same problem with Amy's voice being much clearer in my head than the new Doctor's, which I'm sure will change over time as Matt Smith spends longer in the role). I liked that there were cues that placed the story within the time sequence of Season 5 episodes and thoughts and reactions of the characters that connected to events of the series so far. I also like that, like the current season, a real effort has been made to welcome new viewers, so much of the complex history of the Ninth and Tenth Doctor remains unnecessary to know to enjoy this book.

A very enjoyable read, I would recommend it for any Who fan looking for a "fix" and especially as something that might encourage a younger Who viewer (I would say 8-9 and up, depending on reading ability)to branch out into reading science fiction as well as watching it, and maybe even begin exploring books beyond the Who tie-ins.

In the meantime, I will be not-so-patiently watching my mail for the other two of this first round of Eleventh Doctor novels.

Doctor Who Night Of The Humans

I really love this book I enjoyed every word of it! Great Read during summer! Highly recommend to anyone who loves the Sci-Fi Genre or Dr. Who in General.
Great gift! Fast shipping.
No wasted words. Adheres well to the characterizations created by the writers and actors in the fifth series. Vivid and imaginative landscapes, culturally relevant themes, and a real sense of tension and reader concern. Highly recommended. Very well done.
I'm always a little nervous buying a Doctor Who novel. Either the story is overly complicated, overly dark, or tries to add things to the Doctor's history that I think disagree with the way the character's been established on TV.

This novel forgoes all that and just gives us a fun Doctor Who adventure, something they could film for the series today & you'd enjoy watching. Nothing to contradict canon, nothing too depressing or convoluted -- I was very pleasantly surprised. Now I just have to look to see if this author has any other Who novels to check out!
I found myself slowing down this book and making sure not to read it all in one session because it was a fun, Indiana Jones style adventure, not to be rushed. It had what a Doctor Who adventure should an interesting storyline, surprises, highs and lows, situations that make you wonder what the best choice is, and characters that behave like themselves (you can hear Amy's voice in the book.) Worth it.
