Summary: Never judge a book by its cover
Review: The artwork for the Doctor Who novel "Drift" is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous covers in the entire series' line. It conveys the chill and solitary feeling one would experience in a blizzard. I adored the novel for its cover more so than the story within.About a quarter of the way into it I found myself doing the book equivalent of channel surfing... that is... skimming pages until I got to passages that mentioned either the Doctor or Leela. I would start reading at that point, as I really didn't care for a majority of the characters in this particular installment. But that's just me. It's been interesting in recent adventures to see past incarnations out of the United Kingdom and in what is ostensibly foreign lands to fans of the series. This one was just a little below par story-wise. If this were an episode of the series... it would have been similar to "Image of the Fendahl" or "Underworld." I didn't care for those particular episodes, but I watched them just the same. Two stars for the brilliant artwork and the fourth Doctor's ever-so brief appearances in the story.

Summary: Awesome Cover...but disapointing story...
Review: The cover of this book is awesome. All would agree with that. However, after just a few pages of reading I had to put the book down. Many words are present which one is not accustomed to seeing in a Doctor Who book. Words such as bi-ch, G-d d--n, and sh-t. One reads/watches Dr. Who to escape into other worlds and wonderful stories. Reading such foul language to me is not entertaining. I would thus not recommend this book.

Summary: Awesome Cover...but disapointing story...
Review: While a loyal Dr. Who fan, this book taxes ones allegiance. The backdrop of alien agents, special forces, a sinister menace and an indian shaman are all blended into the story. The story, however, has little to do with the Dr. and he and Leela are dropped into the narative, here and there to perk it up. Unfortunately, not one of the better reads.
