Heralding the multi-platform Time Lord Victorious project, The Knight, the Fool and the Dead is a pulsating adventure that pitches the Doctor back into the Ancient Days and a deadly foe that threatens the entire universe. Packed with the excitement, adventure and wit that are the hallmark of Doctor Who, this is a brand new story not to be missed.
This is more 3.5 as I was finding it a bit okay until pretty much the last paragraph which perked me up a bit
This one drops you straight into it and it's a rather fast read... it's a somewhat disappointing finish as it ends on a rather big cliff hanger which isn't resolved until you pick up All Flesh is Grass. But it's also slightly confusing as it picks up from other media (some audiobooks and a comic). But it's fairly manageable (at least without the comic).
The story itself is about death and the Doctor's relationship with it. It's hard to know exactly how I'll feel about this one until picking up All Flesh is Grass, so maybe I'll have to come back and re-review this.
