The Beast of Babylon by Charlie Higson

4.0

It was nice to read a Ninth Doctor story. I like that they set it in between the events of "Rose", post-climax, but right before Rose decides to join him in the TARDIS. Ali was an interesting character. At first, she seemed like a good choice of a companion, but later proved to be a bit unsuitable. I didn't realize that she wasn't humanoid until after the Babylonian soldier (long name that starts with G) was attacked. I didn't like what the Doctor said about why he usually takes humans on as companions, as I felt offended for his non-human companions (Susan, Romana, Nyssa, Turlough, K9, Frobisher).
