The Novel with No Soul
'The Room With No Doors' is the 59th Virgin New Adventure and the series is really looking lethargic now. With Chris the sole TARDIS passenger, The Doctor's lone travelling companion continues to be riddled with angst and spends much of the novel wrestling with the momentous decision of whether to leave The Doctor or stay with him. At one point the Time Lord pretends to be killed by an arrow and allows himself to be buried alive in order to make an (unexplained) point to Cwej. He also makes many veiled references to regeneration - to be fair to McCoy it is definitely time he gave way to a younger, fresher incarnation.
Overall the novel is Orman's usual mix of the bizarre and the plain unintelligible; fortunately there appears to be a dull light flickering at the end of this, rather murky tunnel...
