Death in the Stars | Book Review

Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast!Thanks to the lovely folk at BBC Books we were lucky to get our hands on a MASSIVE haul of brand new Doctor Who Target books AND the debut novel by Bonnie Langford: Death in the Stars.Geoff was busy on Horsham Film Festival duties but Paul decided to take Bonnie's book away with him on holiday so he could read it on the beach. Which he did!As anyone who's listened to us before will know, Paul is very particular with his books, and arguably way too obsessed with 'science' for a show which features a magic police box and aliens who can regularly change their form when they get killed. However, he is a massive fan of Target novels - often dropping into misty-eyed nostalgia as soon as anyone mentions "The Auton Invasion" or "Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster". So what did he think of this brand new original novel written by Bonnie who played the novel's main character, ex Doctor Who companion of the 1980s (recently returned to New-Who) Ms Melanie Bush?Has Paul fully exorcised his demons since first watching Terror of the Vervoids?What did he think of Mel and Glitz's relationship?What does Lord of the Flies have to do with any of this?Is there any 'hard science' among the shenanigans of Death in the Stars to keep him happy?And how many cups of tea out of five has he awarded the book?Listen up to find out the answers to all these questions and more!Support the showSubscribe to Who Corner to Corner on your podcast app to make sure you don't miss an episode! Now available to watch on YouTube!Join the Doctor Who chat with us and other fans on Twitter and Facebook!Visit the Who Corner to Corner website and see our back catalogue of episodes!Visit the WHOC2C merch store!Enjoying what we do?
