beccaelizabethSet of four adventures, with two Doctors, a bonus cameo Doctor, and River Song.
They cover a long selection of Peladon history and show the same problems arising from the same systemic issues over and over again. Resource extraction without regard for the locals, pollution and poverty.
It's sort of depressing but it's good seeing how the Doctor 'fixing' each incident the way he usually does just didn't resolve anything because all the economic and political stuff remained. Individuals doing their best makes a difference, but things get dragged back down again over and over.
Also each one is an adventure with a win at the end, if you want to look at it that way up.
Also, listening to 8 again has very much reminded me I love his voice. A lot. I could listen to him read the phone book, as I have said many times.
River Song adventures are also always fun. River meeting the Peladon queen who Sarah Jane taught about women's lib is a good spin. Excellent excitement, and River looking out for the Doctor's friends.
I gave the stories 4 out of 5 on the librarything but I am feeling pretty flat (back to school for everyone else always reminds me what I haven't done) so my mood did interfere with things.
Pretty good stories.
