is starting
The old Virgin Doctor Who novels are more likely to fall apart while being read, compared to the old BBC ones. So before I even start worrying about what a re-read will do to the standing of a favorite, my first concern is revisiting the book’s condition. This one seems okay - cover not detaching, as yet. The giant crab, and my love for this story, bring me back here during Halloween Approaches.

Loving this one all over again. Bulis was the first “Wilderness Years” Dr Who writer I went to - I saw Unearthly Child for the first time around 1999, fell in love with Carole Ann Ford’s face - plus the magic of the first episode - and bought The Sorcerer’s Apprentice because Ford’s character, Susan, was on the cover. I knew Liz Shaw from before, and decided to buy Eye of the Giant. Soon, it was all Who books…

I am really enjoying this re-read, and this has been a great pick for the lead-up to Halloween. I think, even though Sgt. Benton appears here, it is important for continuity that he not actually meet the Doctor...I'm not sure, I'm not an expert on this Who era, when it comes to Benton or Yates. This story is placed just after Inferno, and I loved the idea of one more "improvised time machine" causing more trouble.

Any island loaded with monsters is guaranteed fun. And Liz Shaw is there!

A re-read...of one of the first Doctor Who novels I bought, after getting interested in the series again, around 1999. I like several of the Bulis efforts a lot more than most, it seems. This one, Imperial Moon, City at World's End. Chapter 1 has a hull-damaged ship full of movie-makers land on the island of Salutua, in 1934. This feels like the start of King Kong (2005), except I don't have to deal with Jack Black.
