I’m a big fan of Alastair Reynolds so I immediately bought this BBC DOCTOR WHO novel. Although Harvest of Time was published in 2013, Reynolds features the flamboyant Jon Pertwee verson of The Doctor. In addition, The Master is up to his usual dastardly schemes, UNIT is constantly blowing things up, and there’s a sinister alien invasion. Reynolds juggles several plotlines as this complicated story comes together in a shattering conclusion. If you’re a fan of Alastair Reynolds’ work, you’ll want to read Harvest of Time. If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you’ll enjoy this book, too. GRADE: B+
Have never found my way into Dr. Who, which I regret.
Patti, the Doctor Who series is wildly uneven. But when it’s good, it’s really good!
I’m not a Dr. Who fan either. Wait, didn’t Alastair Reynolds do the introductions for Masterpiece Theater?
Rick, Alastair Cooke jokes! I’ve read most of Alastair Reynolds’ Big Fat Books and enjoyed them. The Doctor Who books vary widely in quality.
I’m a big Doctor Who fan but have yet to read Reynolds – sounds like the perfect combo George – thanks.
Sergio, HARVEST OF TIME was a lot of fun to read. I’m sure it would delight you!
