Yes, the rumours were true.
Hang on, I hear you cry.
What do you mean by serious?
On this evidence, the message from BBC Books is loud and clear: this is not your averageWhobook.
Which is ironic, as clearly Moorcock didnt get that memo.
If you dont, well, youd probably be wise to give the book a wide berth.
(Ill let you guess the outcome.)
Faring much worse under Moorcocks pen is Amy Pond.
Another major issue that the book wrestles with is a slight lack of focus and urgency to the plot.
However, despite the various caveats raised, this is an entertaining book.
Theres real wit, imagination and, perhaps surprisingly, warmth on display.
In this world, continuity is unimportant, consistency is for the birds and imagination is king.
How very Michael Moorcock.
