Technophobia, by Matt Fitton, features a world in which people can no longer cope with the tech around us, from the latest voice-assisted computers to things like escalators, and even pens. This is technological incompetence on a grand scale, and there’s got to be something behind it. This story throws us right back into the DoctorDonna era. Whizz-cracking dialogue, technology wreaking havoc, and enlisting the aid of plucky non-companions to save the day. I also greatly enjoyed the ending, which was very hoist-by-one’s-own-petard. Time Reaver, by Jenny T. Colgan, is not about the terrifying creatures from Firefly, although it’s not much less scary; it is a weapon that prolongs the agony of death for anyone who’s shot with it. Every second is a minute; every minute an hour; and so on into eternity. It is a nasty weapon, and those who want to get their hands on it will stop at nothing. Fortunately, the Doctor and Donna are on hand to save the day. I found the cold open of this story, in which the person who found the time reaver was being tortured by a criminal baddie who wanted more, so terrifying that I kind of shut down and couldn’t really enjoy the rest of the story (although I did like the customs house / coffee shop). Death and the Queen, by James Goss, rounds out the set with a story featuring yet another wedding for Donna. She’s bagged a prince and about to become queen of a country that has had 500 years of peace. But what’s that cloud on the horizon on her wedding day? The one that’s announcing that “the price must be paid”? This was a great story, back to the fun shenanigans of the first story in the set. Donna more than holds her own AND inspires her maids to join the fight. Some of the dialogue was a bit repetitive, such as the mother-in-law exclaiming “How dare you!” when Donna administered yet another sick burn, but it was a fun story nonetheless. I would definitely recommend this set if you liked Donna Noble as a character on Doctor Who. She was my favourite of Ten’s companions, so naturally I enjoyed myself very much. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
