A review by gingerreader99
Doctor Who: Battlefield by Marc Platt
5.0
A fitting end to my goal of 50 books this year! For a Target novel this is packed full of action in it's pages and my appreciation of the 7th Doctor continues to grow! (He may be in competition for my favorite at this point!)
That said, anyone who knows me well enough knows I enjoy British history and myth like King Arthur (see my review of Bernard Cromwell's first Arthur book or his The Last Kingdom books). This story was exciting and fitting as it turned that original myth on its head. Of course it's no surprise who Merlin is/was/will be, who else would it be? Special shoutout to Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart who apparently does not believe in retirement.
Seriously this Target novel has everything you need and is likely one of the most exciting I have had the chance to read.
