I might be getting ahead of myself...but the December batch of books sound like they might actually be
interesting.
The Story of Martha is, by dint of it's subject matter, going to feel less disposable than most of the Welsh Series' tie-in novels. And its author, Dan Abnett, often gets things very right (like in his
Legion of Superheroes comics which I've recently been reading). Though he also sometimes gets things very wrong (like in his
Legion of Superheroes comics which I've recently been reading).
The big whoop though is the return to Who novels of Lance Parkin, one of the most important of the
New Adventures/Eighth Doctor Adventures-era writers. Unlike most novelists writing for the current range, Parkin has been vocal on other boards in saying that the kiddie-friendly restrictions on the books nowadays needn't stop them from being good novels. He really thinks he can make the things
work. It's going to be interesting seeing if he does.
He's also been blogging about it in considerable detail...
