I finally got around to Doctor Who: The Wheel of Ice by Stephen Baxter.
Not bad so far, although I'm not getting the Second Doctor from the characterisation at all. I'm enjoying the plot well enough though and Jamie and Zoe seem a lot better fleshed out than the Doctor. |

One of the main characters is a torturer by trade so there is torture throughout the trilogy. Having said that, I believe the first instance is the worst and most descriptive. It's a good series, I would recommend you keep going and see if it gets more palatable (not the torture, the book itself ) before you stop.

I am finishing up Crown of Slaves, the first in the Manpower offshoots of Honor Harrington. Before I move onto Torch of Freedom I am going to catch up on my Star Wars and read Mercy Kill, the new X-Wing novel.

I am currently reading Called to Coach: Reflections on Life, Faith, and Football. Normally, I read on my Kindle, however I received this physical book for Christmas.

Prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite when I first read the series and my favorite movie. I am excited to see if that holds up this year, when I re-read the series.

The non-Who parts - especially everything to do with describing space and various spacecraft etc - were good, though, so I'm looking forward to reading some original science fiction by Baxter at some point. |
