Fun thing about the Eight Doctors is I actually read it in like 2 sittings. Partly because even when his writing isn’t great, Terry Dicks’ prose is always quick and readable. Partly because I kept reading faster and faster to get it over with…
And then the last EDA I read extremely fast was Mad Dogs and Englishmen, which I wish was 500 pages instead of 250! So much fun I didn’t want it to end. The duality of the EDAs!
I read it in three sittings, I think, but they were stretched out from each other considerably because it was a bit of a chore.
I read Alien Bodies super fast, tho
Do we know if Big Finish have or can get the right to the EDA’s companions? I think it would be criminal if we never got a Audio Novel set then written by Kate Orman. Although I’m completely on board with her writing Charley, Lucie, Liv or Helen.
Not sure, but they did have this with Fitz
Yeah, but it has been more than fiftern years since The Company of Friends, so my guess is that the license to the character would’ve expired or something. I hope not, I need that Orman Audio Novel.
Kate recently wrote The Dead Star, though it’s not BF
It’s BF, the Audio Novels in fact. She is also the writer on the upcoming one, that’ll be a Liz one. I’m glad to have her back as a who writer anyway, totally excited when I get to these two
Oh I didn’t realize cuz publisher was not listed on the site 
Attempted to organize my thoughts on ‘Beltempest’. Still thinking about the C-section scene…
Excellent review, I agree with a lot of what you said. Did I like the book? Hard to say. But I wasn’t bored by it which counts for something
You did warn me… I liked the middle part, but yep, in general, whatever.
Right, there’s a bit where it almost gets interesting in the middle but then it just. Doesn’t. Ugh. Please report back on The Taint though!
Today is an incredibly exciting day for me! It’s NEW BOOK DAY!
Just finished Alien Bodies and loved it. Very cool, interesting and wild! 
Tonight starts Kursaal !!! Woot!!! 
Did everything make sense? Any lore questions? Theories? Opinions?
Well, YES! LOL! But where to start???
So many new characters/races and concepts! It was really cool! Specially the Krotons, Trask and the Shift. Crazy about burying the dog and the Doctor’s own body! And Mictlan, that place was crazy and creepy!
Thank the books for that being the first time you met the Krotons because they will never be as cool as in Alien Bodies again. Ever.
In fact, that’s one of the most LOSER BEHAVIOR species in the whole whoniverse. Honestly it’s a miracle Miles made them so, so cool.
The rest of the things you cited are all original ideas tho. You started the War in Heaven! Be welcomed to the second proper Time War in Doctor Who history!
Wow! Okay, very cool! The 2nd Time War. Very interesting…
Also, if there are other things that I read, but might have not understood the significance of, please do not be afraid to mention it… It was a great book though!
Thanks a lot! 
Somewhere, Lawrence Miles is near to having a stroke and he doesn’t know why
I meant Alan Moore’s 4D-War to be clear, but honestly this image makes me laugh so let’s go with that
Didn’t actually know that was a thing (and I call myself a fan!)
