Doctor Who: The Wheel of Ice
Doctor Who: The Wheel of Ice | Stephen Baxter
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
The Wheel. A ring of ice and metal turning around a moon of Saturn, home to a mining colony supplying a resource-hungry Eartha colony plagued by problems. Equipment failures and thefts are on the rise. Children tell stories of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the Wheel. And some of the younger workers refuse to go down into the warren-like mines. And then one of them, surfing Saturns rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from destruction. Once on the Wheel, the Doctor and his companions, Jamie and Zoe, face a critical situation when they become suspected by some as the source of the ongoing sabotage. They soon find themselves caught in a mystery that reaches back to the creation of the solar system. A mystery that could destroy the Wheeland kill them all...

One can read this book without knowing the Second Doctor at first. As for me, I'm now really looking forward to the Classic Who episodes including him.

The story is very who-ish, and therefore a perfect way of getting the new generation of Fans to get to know Classic Who as well. Stephen Baxter did a very good job with this book.

Cuilin Great review. I haven‘t watched classic Doctor Who since the 70/80‘s as a child. I would hide behind a cushion because I was frightened by the Daleks 😱!! Are there a set of classic novels? I read one book called Shada. But wasn‘t sure if there was a set. 4y
PickwickPlockPlock The second doctor is my favourite classic doctor. Matt Smith modelled his doctor after him. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - my husband says he used to hide behind the couch & peak up over the back! 😂 4y
Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks 😄 they were proper scary yet I had to watch. 🤷‍♀️ glad I wasn‘t the only one. 4y

Yey - Bingo at the #BookSpinBingo
I didn't count the first one, since Spark Of Life was a DNF. Now I'll be working on clearing the rest of the board, which should be no problem. I really hope to finish my #DoubleSpin by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!
