Doctor Who: Autonomy by Daniel Blythe
3.0
In each of the stories (TV episodes or books) where the Doctor is travelling without a companion he always manages to find a ‘stand-in companion’ for each story. Once Kate had been identified as the Doctor’s companion for the story the children and their parents seemed a bit superfluous, so it was not surprising when
In typical auton style, they start popping up all over the place, with not only the shop window mannequins and animated attractions coming alive but also ‘real’ people realising that they are actually autons in disguise. The addition of the little girl auton with a wicked grin and a love of killing made it feel a bit too much like Blyth was trying to write a cheesy horror show though.
The story was fairly decent and kept me entertained for a while, although it was rather predictable at times. By this point I’ve had my fill of Doctor Who books for a while and am looking forward to reading some books that I will actually really enjoy next.
