The Companions of Doctor Who

By David Bushman, Ken Deep, Scott Ryan

Book Overview

"Don't be alone, Doctor," Amy Pond tells the Eleventh Doctor in "The Angels Take Manhattan," and of course the irony is that in one sense the Doctor is always alone--a Gallifreyan whose regenerative powers mean he will outlast nearly everyone near and dear to him -- while at the same time he is rarely without one or more trusted companion by his side. This is a book about those companions--those fortunate few who accompany him on his journeys through space and time on--to quote the Ninth Doctor--"the trip of a lifetime." The editors of The Villains of Doctor Who are back with a new anthology of essays--paeans, really--to Donna Noble, Sarah Jane Smith, Rose Tyler, Wilfred Mott, Chang Lee, Clara Oswald, and more. Did your favorite companion make the cut? You're going to have to read to find out

Customer Reviews

This is the one Doctor Who fans!

Excellent work. A nice variety of writers including TV and movie professionals with something to say. There are at least three essays that are Hugo award worthy in this book. The compilation reminds me of the great fanzines of the past.
