Who's A Mummy's Boy? (SPOILER If True)

[JoeZhang]

Holy Crap! You're David McIntee!I had NO idea! I looooooooved The Dark Path, man!

I didn't think who I am is news - not to anyone who frequents the TrekLit forum anyway.

Glad you liked the book! Always a pleasure to please an audience.

Fuck me - someone gave me that book and I am literally going to start reading it in bed in about ten minutes.

I tried some of the New Adventures books but they seem to be worse than comic books for impenetrable references to other books. The Missing adventures seem much easier to follow.

The NAs and EDAs do tend to interlink because they're the ongoing story at the time, where the MAs and PDAs are standalone.

Having said that, my three NAs aren't that linked to the others because I was geographically separate from the rest of the writers, and not online at the time...

I have to admit, I haven't read any of your other works. But, since I know you're a regular customer here, I'll be certain to check some more of your Who novels out...

Others here can probably tell you which are best, but I'd say this about them all:

White Darkness- first novel, with all that entails
First Frontier - Has a twist
Sanctuary - is written in a deliberately dense style to evoke a certain antiquarian tone. People who get that love, people who don't just assume I can't write and did it by mistake.
Lords Of The Storm - helps if you've seen the Sontaran episodes
Shadow Of Weng Chiang- Helps if you've seen Talons
The Dark Path - you've read already, but for the benefit of others, it's somewhat continuity-heavy
Face Of The Enemy - The Master and the Brig are the stars, but it is very continuity-heavy. But for once necessarily so
Mission Impractical- Fanwank overload, with Frobisher the talking penguin
Wages Of Sin- Shorter and more character based, about Rasputin
Autumn Mist - middle one of an EDA trilogy
Bullet Time- Helps if you've read First Frontier, but not necessary
The Eleventh Tiger - works on its own.

I'd recommend: Sanctuary, Wages Of Sin, Bullet Time and Eleventh Tiger to everyone, and Shadow Of Weng Chiang, Dark Path and Face Of The Enemy to folks familiar with the original show.

Away from Who, I'd recommend Destination Zero as a modern action thing, and Twilight Of Kerberos - The Light Of Heaven for being the most recent.

And don't forget to check out the William Shatner stuff on Saturday, Free Comic Book Day.

Loved Sanctuary.

Is there any hope for the Guy de Carnac books, or is that a dead issue now?

(Now I'm tempted to go home and dig out the Guy audio play and give that a listen. It's been a couple of years.)

I'm all over Shadow Of Weng Chiang and Face of the Enemy! I've been into Doctor Who for so long now, it's just a waste of my time if there isn't some continuity-ties inherent.

Thanks a lot, man!

It'll still happen - there are reason why I haven't done it yet (mainly, the publisher turning out to be a POD publisher, which isn't what I had in mind)

 

[ClayinCA]

^ Sorry - POD publisher?

 

[captcalhoun]

print-on-demand i expect.

Print On Demand

You know, amateur, non-paying up-front, etc

Frak me!

At the risk of sounding like an utter creep (a risk I'm prepared to take, as it is essentially true) I'd have to say you were my favourite NA/MA author. Whilst a lot of the writers seemed keen on pushing boundaries and breaking the mould, that often meant what they wrote didn't feel like Doctor Who. There was always a core of Who-ness to your books, no matter what else happened, and they were always entertaining.
