Doctor Who: The Coming of the Terraphiles

A marriage made in heaven, or perhaps Gallifrey. As a teenager Michael Moorcock was my favourite author, and Doctor Who my favourite TV programme. Why no one has ever put the two of them together before I don’t know – Charlie HigsonDelicious. The modern genre’s most original voice has invited the Doctor into his multiverse for an adventure sparkling with wit and peril… Authentic Moorcock. Authentic Who. An essential read – Stephen BaxterA combination of Moorcockian multiverse and Wodehousian Comedy filigreed into something magical and unexpected. It’s Doctor Who written by the most important living British fantasist, and it’s as good as I’d hoped, and much funnier – Neil GaimanDelightfully good-humored… an authentically Moorcockian take on both Doctor Who and that most whimsical of themes - the coming of ultimate chaos and the annihilation of the universe itself! – Alastair ReynoldsWe are astoundingly lucky to have Michael Moorcock. In his range, his skill, invention and his passion he exemplifies the very best of more than one literary tradition – China MievilleHere we have one of science fiction and fantasy’s most respected and well-loved authors writing Doctor Who. What could possibly go wrong? The answer is absolutely nothing. This is a phenomenal book - 10⁄10 * Total Sci Fi *Exhilarating, funny and deeply peculiar…It’s been years since the Doctor Who range put out anything as smart and engaging as this. Fingers crossed it’s the first of many such volumes * SFX *A bold, eccentric quasi space opera * Doctor Who Magazine *The great Michael Moorcock has written a Doctor Who book which is like Burt Bacharach knocking out an album for Lady Gaga * Word Magazine *
