Summary: The Lost Boys vs. The Doctor
Review: This story was very fun to read. Sam is fantastic in this story. We realize that she is not Ace, but she still packs a wallop. A great tale of vampire lore that is very conversational and a quick read. I couldn't put it down. Carolyn was a excellent character and every Who fan can relate to her struggle.

Summary: A promising new direction for our favorite Doctor!
Review: Vampire Science is the second book in the BBC eight Doctor series. This book sets the foundation for the rest of the series in that the Doctor's character is wonderfully depicted. After the first few pages it soon becomes easy to fall in love with the novel - it is nothing short of fantastic. The novel is also very accessible to new and old fans of the program. Part of the book's appeal is that it has a 90's feel to it, younger fans will find that they can relate to the novel very well indeed while hard-core fans will appreciate it's regenerated form. Many other readers would agree that 'Vampire Science' is a wonderful read and the basis of which future BBC 8th Doctor novels should follow.

Summary: The television movie taken to the next logical step
Review: What if the Doctor Who television movie was picked up as an ongoing series? What would it have looked like? What would be the tone? These are clearly thoughts that went through Jonathan Blum's and Kate Orman's heads as they wrote VAMPIRE SCIENCE.Blum and Orman manage to capture the slick feel of the telemovie so well it seems effortless; you can almost see Paul McGann and company flying down the streets of San Francisco (via Vancouver) as the vampire menace rears its ugly head. Blum and Orman manage to capture the new Doctor's mannerisms and personality excellently, and their story manages to both take on the same tone as the telemovie, while at the same time expanding the scope and blowing the "budget" through the roof. VAMPIRE SCIENCE is one of the few early Eighth Doctor novels that really feels like an entity in its own right, not a "generic Doctor" story with the serial numbers filed off. A clever plot, great characterization, and excellent prose; this is a wonderful addition to the Doctor Who mythos. Very well done.
