'Wolfsbane' was actually going to be a pick some months back but got replaced for reasons I genuinely don't recall. <br /><br />As for the Telos range, well, that's a bridge we've neither crossed nor burned. My inclination is to generally stick to the 4 ranges we laid out initially, but who knows? I already have thoughts about trying to do the Gareth Roberts novelized 'Shada' when it comes out next year... We'll see.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />ErikErikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872984060680282164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892889141361342656.post-3260730494966301212011-12-22T16:14:03.050-08:002011-12-22T16:14:03.050-08:00Ohhhhhh, you may have meant the formal Past Doctor...Ohhhhhh, you may have meant the formal Past Doctor Adventures range, not just a past Doctor book. Well, I guess they're all "past Doctor books" now. Of course you meant a PDA. Silly me! <br /><br />In that case you'd want WOLFSBANE, the Four/Eight multi-Doctor story where the Sarah Jane bits (about half the book) are in rural England, Christmastime 1936. <br /><br />There is also, oddly, a Thanksgiving tale called DRIFT, with Four and Leela, set in snowy New Hampshire. It's a fun thought for next November maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892889141361342656.post-68173629726810880872011-12-22T15:42:59.113-08:002011-12-22T15:42:59.113-08:00Too bad you shot your Larry Miles, um, wad in Nove...Too bad you shot your Larry Miles, um, wad in November -- you could've gone with the fairly Christmassy CHRISTMAS ON A RATIONAL PLANET. <br /><br />But I've got a question about the stories you cover. Are Telos novellas in the mix? If so, I've got one to suggest. One month when you're busy with work and don't have much time for reading, consider BLOOD AND HOPE. Not saying it's the best in the range -- a lot of people still think that belongs to TIME AND RELATIVE -- but I think it'd be interesting to hear two Americans talking about an adventure wholly set in the American Civil War. Erik might like the piece for its unusual structure, as it's mostly told in first person, minor character (through letters). Sean might dislike it because it's Fifth Doctor but like it cause Erimem's presence pulls it away from televised Fifth Doctor territory, and you can just imagine a better American accent on Peri. In fact Peri's precisely the right televised companion for this one, cause she's not lovin' being "home" in America of the Civil War. <br /><br />It's further cool cause it's the longest prose work by someone who's mostly written audios and comics, so you can opine about the success of him working in another medium. Iain McLaughlin is also the originator of the character of Erimem, so you'd be getting the "purest" vision of the narrative promise of that audio companion. <br /><br />Just somethin' to think about when time is tight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
