In interesting times, love can be a weakness, hatred an illusion, order chaos, and ten tigers not enough. The TARDIS crew have seen many times. When they arrive in China in 1865, they find banditry, rebellion, and foreign oppression rife. Trying to maintain order are the British Empire and the Ten Tigers of Canton, the most respected martial arts masters in the world. There is more to the chaos that mere human violence and ambition. Can legends of ancient vengeance be coming true? Why does everyone Ian meets already know who he is? The Doctor has his suspicions, but he is occupied by challenges of his own. Sometimes the greatest danger is not from the enemy, but from the heart... This adventure features the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki.

Enjoyable Read,
By LilacF (Atlanta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Eleventh Tiger (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
I originally passed over this First Doctor adventure, then decided I'd like to get to know this edition of the TARDIS crew. I can't vouch for the authenticity of the setting in ancient China, but it was a new place to see Who and I thought it was respectful of the culture. The story has a flavor of good martial arts cinema with an exotic dash of Who. The TARDIS crew was interestingly rendered and I particularly enjoyed the First Doctor's characterization. It makes me want to go buy William Hartnell DVDs.

This review is from: Doctor Who: The Eleventh Tiger (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
A very good first Doctor novel set in 1865 Japan. The Doctor lands right in the middle of an English foray into Japan with Ian mysteriously recognised and attacked by one of the locals. They spend time in a Japanese medical facility and it finishes where it started in caves. Just the right amount of science fiction and historical fact mixed together very well.

This review is from: Doctor Who: The Eleventh Tiger (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
Some say trying to achieve immortality is like trying to build a perpetual motion machine... the first Emperor of China finds out first hand if that is true or not. In addition to the Emperor, the classic heroes The Doctor, Vicky, Ian, & Barbara are in this romp. The author does a great job at continually building the storyline gradually, unlike some of the other Doctor Who novels which sometimes have jittery climaxes. However with that being said, the ending was a bit of a letdown. It just felt a bit rushed, although it wasn't bad, it was one I could put down for a few days & not feel an urge to finish it. Overall though it was a good, well written novel. Which in its own way was rather inspirational in that brains can always win over brawn, and that an out numbered ragtag team of heroes can defeat an alien empire. So don't miss out on this story... if you do, you may ever know what happens when Ian meets an older version of himself... a self without Barbara, & what if a past self meets a future self?
