amazon.de - Synopsis:The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive?The Doctor is skittish. But if Martha is so keen to find out he’ll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves...Soon the Doctor learns the awful truth. And Martha learns that you need to be careful what you wish for. She certainly wasn’t hoping for mayhem, death, and badger-faced space pirates.Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television. Freema Agyeman reads this gripping story of a lost ship, a time loop and dangerous pirates. The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive? The Doctor is skittish, but if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves...Soon the Doctor learns the awful truth. And Martha learns that you need to be careful what you wish for. She certainly wasn't hoping for mayhem, death, and badger-faced space pirates. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television. well, my timeline below (from wikipedia) seems to be incorrect; TARDIS wiki says, the story is set between Wishing Well and Peacemaker. Could make sense, in the beginning Martha refers to an execution right 10 Minutes ago when the doctor told her about the spaceship to distract her. Actually, I was fine without knowing Wishing Well, you really don't need it to understand this novel. I'm not sure about this one. I can't say I dislike it, but it wasn't my favourite either. On the one hand, the plot is too simple and childish (badger-pirates, being friends with the crew on the bridge right after sharing some canapees etc.) on the other hand, there's a lot of shooting and dying. So, for my taste, it's not cheery enough to be a funny story and not gloomy enough to be a dark story, and furthermore, I disliked all that "3 hours earlier"-parts. But as always I liked Freema Agyeman ;-) I admit, I didn't know what a Mandelbrot Set(t) is, and I instantly thought of nothing else than sweeties - the badgers use to eat reground dirt, so why not naming their ship after some delicious cake? I wondered a bit about the German name, then, but not very much, and I was a little bit surprised when I found M. Mandelbrot on Wikipedia... -> RikkiDD -> toshokanin -> Die Henkerin -> delfinnetti -> SaschaBWK -> phoenixfeather -> d-vineland Anna-Lena? kayla8m -> wenn's keine Antwort gibt: Schneefee hat ihre Adresse nach Hause
This will be my last doctor for a little while since I have to do some maintenance on my bagpipes first (Competition season's starting) and get my car repaired (it's 7 weeks now, it really sucks!), but the Doctor will be back. Until then, I add a little extra, I hope you'll enjoy it. |
