I heard a rumor that Zygons would be returning to the series in the 50th anniversary. So I picked up this story as a quick reintroduction. It wasn't too bad, though I again felt the author missed the real "voice" of The Doctor. ( ) The Doctor and Martha turn up in England’s Lake District in 1909. It’s the Edwardian era, the scenery is gorgeous, and there’s a giant scary beast roaming Westmorland. Wait, what? The Doctor soon establishes that, while the beast is certainly unearthly, it’s not alone, and its reason for being here means that there’s a great deal of trouble afoot for Earth and its Earthlings. I greatly enjoyed this book. I seem to recall that David Tennant’s favourite monster is the Zygons, so it was nice to see him get to fight them in this story. The scale of the Zygons’ plot is impressive, and the story never lets up. I had fun with this one. It was a great book! The only reason why it took me almost a month to read is because I did not have much time to read this month. At first I thought that the Doctor was a somewhat out of character, as he seemed a bit too hyperactive, but this is something that only happens at the very beginning. Both the Doctor and Martha are perfectly in character for the rest of the story. What surprised me a bit was that Martha does not realise at one point that she is not talking to the Doctor but to a zygon. It is not clear how long she has been travelling with him, but I thought that it was very obvious that she was talking to a zygon, especially considering that she does know what zygons do. This is something that happens repeatedly throughout the book. A few characters are unable to suspect something that is quite clear. Other than this, the story was perfect. There is a lot of mystery and the plot twists, while not being huge, keep the plot interesting. While it is never too graphic, it is still one of the more mature NSAs that I have read so far. Sting of the Zygons is a book that I would definitely recommend, even to people who have never watched a zygon episode. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in 1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant, scaly monster. The search is on for the elusive 'Beast of Westmorland', and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across the country are descending on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to join the search, with a knighthood for whoever finds the Beast. But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a mere monster on the rampage, and the Doctor is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. And as the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begins -- with the future of the entire world at stake ... Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
