new series books - the best?!
hello all!
Teresa just asked me what is regarded as the best new series novel...
So I ask you, denizens of Planet Skaro - what is the best new series novel!?!?

I really enjoyed Winner Takes All, it really felt like a new series episode. Sting of the Zygons was also very good.

I found Sting of ther Zygons a bit derivitive of it's original source material.
The ones I've enjoyed the most were Feast of the Drowned and Forever Autumn. Both were a good read.

I have to be honest and say that none of them has really gripped me as much as I'd like - having said that, they have in general got better as they've gone along. Sick Bungalow by Paul Magrs was the last one I read, and I enjoyed that; Wooden Heart is quite good too. And of the ninth Doctor ones, The Deviant Strain and particularly The Stealer of Dreams, are both very good.
I'm afraid I found The Last Dodo to be more like A Real Turkey.

Wot Andrew said - no real standouts, but if forced I'd prefer to re-read The Stealer of Dreams, Feast of the Drowned or Forever Autumn

Winner Takes All is the only one I've re-read so far, though one day I might go back to The Clockwise Man, which is my favourite so far. I've not found any really stand-out ones so far, which I put down to trying to get as wide an audience as possible, age-range-wise. The Nightmare Of Black Island and Peacemaker were good though.

I've read two of 'em, but have them all. (i'll get around to reading them as soon as I can) So far, I haven't really enjoyed them. I still like the older BBC books, with McGann and that era's MA's better.

Out of the ones I've read I've loves
The Clockwise Man
Winner Takes All
The Deviant Strain
Only Human
I think the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Jack all come accross so much better in the books
The Tenth Doctor novels that I've read/listened too haven't been as good, but I enjoyed Forever Autumn and Ghosts of India a lot.

Having now read a few more, I'd like to add The Pirate Loop to the "good" pile - probably one of the best of the lot in fact.

I have the audio book of that, but haven't got round to listening to it yet. Hopefully sometime soon.
