#RRSciFiMonth: A Doctor Who Retrospective on Guiltless Reading

Last year was the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. I finally got my feet wet in this huge cult following by joining a few book tours, getting a crash course from the daughter (err, what's the TARDIS again?), and finally watching some old episodes. Without further ado ... here's Doctor Who ...

By way of this book, I was introduced to Doctor Who and his world/s. Overall, I think I was expecting this book to be ... cheesy. Aliens. Time travel. And in the back of my mind, on TV: cheap alien costumes, bad special effects. But this book surprised the heck out of me!
 

This was fun! This is sci-fi light, nothing too heavy, with a great mix of humour, romance and battle. In an unlikely melding of Nordic and primitive folklore as well as a futuristic alien invasion, and how the Doctor comes between two life forms fighting for their respective sides' very survival. 

Doctor Who invades your nails!
