Narration Toward Books Doctor Who: The Ancestor Cell (Eighth Doctor Adventures #36)

The Doctor's not the man he was. But what has he become? An old enemy -- Faction Paradox, a cult of time-travelling voodoo terrorists -- is finally making him one of its own. These rebels have a mission for him, one that will deliver him into the hands of his own people, who have decreed that he must die. Except now, it seems, the Time Lords have a mission for him too...A gargantuan structure, hewn from solid bone, has appeared in the skies over Gallifrey. Its origins and purpose are unknown, but its powers threaten to tear apart the web of time and the universe with it. Only the doctor can get inside... but soon he will learn that nothing is safe and nothing is sacred.

Shot by both sides, confronted by past sins and future crimes, the Doctor finds himself a prisoner of his own actions.

I really ought to re-read these 8th Doctor books in order.

Now THIS is how you write a Doctor Who book. Goddamned Epic, that's what this is.

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2018088.html[return][return]This is the first of the books setting up the Faction Paradox timeline which I have enjoyed. The Doctor and Fitz return to Gallifrey in Compassion-as-Tardis, and find themselves implicated in a power struggle between President Romana and one of her predecessors, resurrected by the Faction Paradox. It contains the seeds of numerous ideas which we have seen in later stories, particularly the Gallifrey audios (though they of course feature

Finally clears up the whole Compassion story line and the Time War. This is a must read, but should be read after reading others in the series. It particularly references Interference. It is a page turner, and having Faction Paradox as the bad guys really works. It is difficult to review this without giving away major plot points. Just be careful if you have a fear of spiders. A really good read.

Not nearly as good as I was led to believe. Also, needs a massive TW for an important plot thread that's basically just continual rape threats against Compassion.LIKES: Father Kreiner's arc. (view spoiler)[After all those years, he's still Fitz. I know a lot of people ship him and the Doctor; through that lens, Kreiner's death is really moving. (hide spoiler)]The Time War stuff is a mess, but if it was simple and understandable we'd never believe it was a Time War. The ideas were generally good,
