review:
'Doctor Who: The American Adventures' by Justin Richards is a book of 6 short stories featuring the Twelfth Doctor in uniquely American adventures.
The Doctor finds himself at various places in American history: the California gold rush, with a group of settlers, at a military base that is planning D-Day and at a large familiar sounding theme park in Florida, and other places. In each, the Doctor's unique gifts are needed to protect the people of Earth from the unknown. In each, he exhibits his own wry humor, which is often unappreciated by those around him.
The true test of a tie in book is if the character feels true to the original creation. On that level, I think these stories succeed. The stories themselves are not great, but neither are they completely terrible. As a fan of the Doctor, I enjoyed reading this collection of stories.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin UK, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
