Three books this month, so slacking a bit. The first was the free ebook of Paul Cornell's Human Nature (New Doctor Who Adventures)
,
which was later used as the basis of the New Who story Human Nature/Family of Blood. There are obvious differences, as the book was written before the revival and features the Seventh Doctor rather than the Tenth. The free ebook available from the BBC website includes some interesting commentary by Cornell written in hindsight, which is worth reading. Good book.
Also on the Cybook, Jane Austen's Emma. Lots of fun, even if I did want to slap the heroine on more than one occasion.
And an advance review copy of a friend's new book, Daniel Fox's "Dragon In Chains", review posted earlier this evening. Summary, go buy this book, and I'm not saying that because it's a friend's book.
