Another Doctor Who novel. After the last one was so satisfying I didn't think this one could possibly be up to that level... and the other Martha and the Tenth Doctor novel I read was not so great. Yet I judged too fast! Enjoyable in the extreme, and reasonably scary. Set in small-town New England - the Doctor and Martha show up just before Halloween because the TARDIS detected some kind of energy surge. Alien spaceships, spooky green mists, possessed cats... but through it all the characterizations of the Doctor and Martha are WONDERFUL. The Doctor has just the right mix of goofy energy and timelord distance; Martha is steady and good and very aware of her choices and why she's in this dangerous situation.
Nice one.
