Cargando... Lethbridge-Stewart: The Forgotten Sonpor Andy Frankham-Allen
   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  Kindleifier | Jul 19, 2016 |   This is the first in a new line of Who spinoff novels, this time prequelling UNIT by looking at Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart's life and adventures in the gap between The Web of Fear and The Invasion (nine months for the viewer which we are told has been four years in continuity). I was a bit worried about this one, having been underwhelmed by the same author's look at Doctor Who companions in the history of the series, but in fact it's a competently done tale of clearing up after the events of The Web of Fear which also quite neatly salutes the Matt Smith era version of the Great Intelligence as well.

HTML: The Great Intelligence has been defeated. And Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart's world has changed. For Colonel Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart his life in the Scots Guards was straightforward enough; rising in the ranks through nineteen years of military service. But then his regiment was assigned to help combat the Yeti incursion in London, the robotic soldiers of an alien entity known as the Great Intelligence. For Lethbridge-Stewart, life would never be the same again. Now he has a mammoth task ahead of him â?? the repopulating of London; millions of civilians need to be returned home after being evacuated so suddenly. On top of that, he also has his engagement to think about. Meanwhile in the small Cornish village of Bledoe a man is haunted by the memory of an accident thirty years old. The Hollow Man of Remington Manor seems to have woken once more. And in Coleshill, Buckinghamshire, Mary Gore is plagued by the voice of a small boy, calling her home. What connects these strange events to the recent Yeti incursion, and just what has it all to do with Lethbridge-Stewart? A brand-new series of novels set just after the Doctor Who serial The Web of Fear, featuring the characters and concepts created by Mervyn Haisman & Henry Lincoln.

I found this confusing. It jumps quickly between places and times and it is difficult to work out immediately whether it's the next scene in the same location/time, or a contemporary scene in another place, or another place and time.
I've just started reading the second in the series, and found that it suffers from the same problem. I've come to the conclusion that the writers and/or editors have failed to understand the difference between writing for the screen and writing a novel. With the screen you have a host of visual clues to spot where and when you are. With a novel, this needs to be expressed verbally and promptly, otherwise the whole thing becomes too disjointed.
I liked the idea of the series - the Brig is a favourite character in the Whoniverse and it's interesting to explore his life - but the writing style gets in the way too much and I dont think I am going to bother with any further titles. (
