The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are enjoying a meal in a restaurant when they are swept up in a space-time event and wind up in the Crystal Bucephalus - a restaurant wherein diners can choose any restaurant from history to dine in, and the space-time mechanism of the Bucephalus will arrange it. And the Doctor, much to his chagrin, is the owner - having invested mnoney to lose it in the restaurant's creation. But with space-time accessible from the Bucephalus, there are others who are keen to get their hands on it...Setting this book in a restaurant is an inspired idea, as you may very well feel like you've had a banquet by the time you are finished. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are quite well portrayed, and even Kamelion gets to do something (although it is, yet again, being controlled by someone else...).While you are enjoying the main plotline, the story is embroidered with many many references to Doctor Who (and other, including Star Trek) trivia.While perhaps a little rich for some tastes, it is still a book many will savour!
A raucous sci-fi adventure & standout in the Dr Who series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Craig Hinton's first two novels for the Missing Adventures series ranks, I think, as some of the most imaginative Dr. Who fiction to date. Hinton clearly realizes that the success of the books hinges on the expansion of the Doctor's universe outwards from the confines of the BBC studios, and he achieves this admirably in a bizarre tale set in the distant future involving a time-travelling restaurant, the murder of the most powerful man in the universe, a resurrected saviour, and of course, the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough. Kamelion makes an appearance, to boot
