sontaran olympiad This year’s doctor who quick reads novel. If you’ve not heard of quick reads, then a brief word of explanation. every year several very short books – about one hundred pages of short chapters and large print – are issued on national quick reads day. the aim of these is to get those who don’t normally read to try it. since they’re short and easy reads they’re good things to try if you don’t usually have the time or inclination for anything longer or more challenging.but that doesn’t mean those who do can’t enjoy them as well.the range is now in it’s fourth year and a doctor who book has been included in the range every year.this one involves the doctor arriving at a sports training facility to find there have been several mysterious deaths there. he befriends some of the students at the place and they find that it has been taken over by sontarans, aliens familiar to anyone who saw the 2008 season of the show on tv. the sontarans put the doctor and the students through some dangerous tests. can they survive? and what is the sontarans true purpose in being there?This is definitely a book you can get into quickly and the prose is clear enough such that you won’t find it a difficult read. story wise it’s not bad. the supporting characters do have a reasonable amount of depth to them, and the plot does develop nicely. There are a few decent revelations to come along the way.Nothing special, but if you want a good quick read, or a good quick doctor who story, or both, then it’s well worth getting.
according to me this is the worst doctor who quick read so far, it doesn’t contain much action and the story was verry predictable, i think the sontarans have had a good run, but it’s time for them to die out and hopefully they can be replaced by other, cooler species like the ice warriors
