Book Cover for the BBC book Seeing I.  Close up of an eye.  The pupil is a red sun/planet surrounded by yellowfins.  The face is blue and green.


The Fiction Paradox podcast reviewed Seeing I recently and mostly reluctantly enjoyed it more than they felt it deserved. I remember it more clearly than many of the BBC books which I think argues it was definitely better than average.

The difficulty with this book is where to shelve it since it is clearly intended to be an AU in which the Doctor never left Gallifrey though. Until about halfway through the book, I was kidding myself that I could pretend it was set after he had returned to Gallifrey at some point in the future but no. Anyway, since the Eight Doctor adventures occur in canon in publication order I eventually opted to shelve it among them in publication order.

I recently listened to the Doctor Who Book Club podcast on Relative Dementias. They quite liked it but thought it wasn't completely in control of its themes, there was too much incidental stuff to bring up the page count and its descriptions of action were confusing. All criticisms that could probably be aimed at many of the Doctor Who novels.
