Subtle but in the end entertaining,

This review is from: Speed of Flight (Doctor Who) (Paperback)
Definitely not the best Doctor Who Missing Adventure, but it's got its good points. The story moves slowly, and there's not much action. The resolution of the chief bad guy's fate is a little bit of a letdown.If you're a fast reader who doesn't mind a more slow-moving story, go ahead. If not, don't be afraid to skip this one.

Too clever and complex for its own good,
This review is from: Speed of Flight (Doctor Who) (Paperback)
The Doctor takes Jo and Mike Yates for a spin in the TARDIS, aiming for the planet Karfel (which the Doctor and Jo had visited, according to the story 'Timelash') but, given how awful the other story set on Karfel was, end up instead on the planet Nooma. I'm not sure, though, that this destination is any better.This story is full of strange alien races and serious bodily transformations, especially for one of the regulars. And with any such transformations, the return to normal afterwards is a difficult thing to believe. The society of Nooma also causes me some difficulty. I have a problem with so many intelligent races evolving side by side, even with the "explanation" that is offered as part of the book's resolution. Something simpler would have been better. Getting too complex just leads to trouble.
