Rated Doctor Who: Lungbarrow 8/10

<div><em>Lungbarrow</em> and the Thirteenth Doctor TV episode "The Power of The Doctor" are definitely in conversation with each other, which I enjoy a whole lot. This is some DEEPLY NERDY LORE (affectionate). Is this the book to recommend to a casual fan just getting into the extended media of Doctor Who? Absolutely not! Did I —a person who has spent entirely too much money on audio adventures at Big Finish— enjoy this? Absolutely yes.<br><br>We've got everything: Political intrigue! Gossipy family drama! Ace riding a motorcycle in the time vortex, somehow! Excuses to play with the "canon" that are absolutely bonkers, but they don't <em>not</em> work, and actually, now that you mention it, there was that time... Anyway!<br><br>Who is this Chris companion? WhyTF do we keep using the phrase "the young Adjudicator" ? Who knows! Don't need to know. I'll find out eventually.<br><br>To be very clear, I got my mitts on the book via The Internet Archive, but this updated 2003 edition was originally released as a free ebook by the BBC. I'm sure you can track it down somewhere, which is more than can be said for the very expensive print '90s copies.</div>
