trinityofone"In the days when the Time Lords were young, their war with the vampires cost trillions of lives on countless worlds. Now the Vampires have been sighted again, in San Francisco.
Some want to coexist with humans, using genetic engineering in a macabre experiment to find a new source of blood. But some would rather go out in a blaze of glory - and UNIT'S attempts to contain them could provoke another devastating war.
The Doctor strikes a dangerous bargain, but even he might not be able to keep the city from getting caught in the crossfire. While he finds himself caught in a web of old feuds and high-tech schemes, his new companion Sam finds out just how deadly travelling with the Doctor can be.
This novel is another in the series of adventures featuring the Eighth Doctor."

Seriously, why am I trying to read the Doctor Who books again?
I mean, I love Doctor Who, I really doexcept the S3 finale and actually most of S2, and I WANT to expose myself to more crazy time traveling adventures with his magnificent emoness. Then I see that the book I'm about to start beings with that introduction.
"Now the Vampires have been sighted again, in San Francisco*." This would make a great t-shirt, really; I am dubious about its strengths as a novel.

lcsbanana, should I just skip forward to the first Fitz book or what? Or is Classic Who just not for me? I watched 'The Five Doctors' the other night and I thought it was SO LAME. *sad*
This is a SERIOUS DILEMMA, people!
*Most likely Haight-Ashbury.

I recommend the Three and Master ones, which I've been liking in my gradual chipping away at the backstory. But then again, I've always had a weakness for classic television (it was TOS that got me into Trek, years and years after it had become classic tv). I have to agree with everyone else that the specials are less likely to be good stories than many of the regular episodes. What I've been doing, is reading about elements of the backstory I want to know, and then figuring out which episodes/other media might address those elements, and linking to other related episodes from there, through authors, characters, and events that I like. I figure eventually this will lead me through all the serials, or at least most of them. Not linear at all, and rather related to internet-culture, I think.
I'd like that vampires in SF t-shirt to also have the footnote on it.
