Doctor who and the three Doctors

Doctor who and the three Doctors

-Terrance Dicks


In addition to this series here's one more book.
I have become huge fan of Doctor who series.
This book here has crossed earth and even galaxies .The story of this book runs in time dimension and black hole and anti-matter.
Doctor who and the three Doctors  book coverI'm fantasized by the approach of writer here.Each and every aspect is covered .National security,Alien invasions,time travel,inter galactic forces,inter planetary relations and monsters etc. One cannot imagine to the extent this series has gone.
This book's theme is in space and time dimension.
Sometimes even time lords have to break their own laws.So here we have three doctors from different time streams.Younger and dynamic,present and thoughtful, older and wiser him. It's quite fun to read about their meeting.One can assume if we happen to meet our past what we would do!!!.
Villain of the story is Omega. Who is he!!?? well read the book ,I don't wanna be spoilsport here :) .
To make you more intrigued i would say ,what if we could enter a black-hole!!??. What would it be like. are the theories true that a black hole can be a gateway to cross over time and space.Can anti-matter exist !?? .This book has limelight over such topics in the story beautifully written and used.
characters are , "Jo" doctors beautiful assistant,"Dr.Tyler" a research scientist at university,"Arthur Hollis
" bird watcher,Brigadier of UNIT HQ and the Blob-men. It's a very good book . Good read. This book is meant for those who seek adventure,who like reading fantasy ,for geeks and geckos ,for nerds,for children ,for youngsters,for anyone who is dreams of space , galaxies and times and Dr.Stephen Hawkins my personal recommendation for him who waits at Dining Table for time travelers to come and meet him . ;-)
I have the Hard copy .One who wishes to read Contact me :) .

सखी माझ्या संगी पावसात येशील का ?

सखी माझ्या संगी पावसात येशील का ?



सखी माझ्या संगी  पावसात येशील का ?

    पावसाच्या थेंब थेंब पानीत चिंब भिजशील का?
        पावसा नंतरच्या पानीत माझ्या संगी कागद्याच्या होडी
बरोबर खेळशील का?
            बोल ग सखी माझ्या संगी पावसात येशील का?
        पावसाच्या टीप टीप आवाज आणि ढगांच्या गर्जनेने,
         तैयार झालेल्या त्या मधुर संगीतात माझ्या संगी   नाचशील का?
            वाटेवरच्या त्या चिखलाच्या पानीत माझ्या संगी  खेळशील का?
                बोल ग सखी बोल माझ्या संगी पावसात येशील का?
  
     पावसाने बांधलेल्या आकाश आणि पृथ्वीला जोडणाऱ्या,

         सतरंगी पुलावरून ढगान  पर्यंत चालशील का?
             पाउस पाडल्या नंतर  पळून जाणाऱ्या ढगान बरोबर धावशील का?

                बोल ग सखी बोल माझ्या संगी पावसात येशील का........

Doctor Who and the Nightmare of Eden

Doctor Who and the Nightmare of Eden

-Terrance Dicks

I would say i have become fan of Dr.Who series. Just couldn't resist and went back to the book fair and got two more books . This fiction series has it's touch.
So here is Doctor Who and the nightmare of eden .The book is awesome.The character Dr. who, his accomplice Romana and  robot dog cum mobile computer k9. 
Doctor Who and the Nightmare of Eden  book coverThe story is centered in inter galactic space journey .How two spacecrafts collide but do not destruct instead get fused into each other while traveling at Warp speed.Some facts are scientifically laid and create the fantasy. Dr.Who  as always has played the time lord who knows everything. No super powers just mere talent and knowledge. Romana adds to that female spirit and k9 the robotic computer (like r2d2 ) has a cuteness. Then there is drug smuggling racket which unfolds mysteriously.The drug Vraxin and its effects have been described fantastically .Also the effects after the consumption is described very well,the laughing,blabbering and carefree ,careless behavior .The gadgets and devices mentioned  have futuristic shadows. May be in future we will have such devices. 
The story has awesome timing and one cant leave the book aside for a break.You want to finish the book .It hooks you up. 
and after the book ends you get a smile :) . The book has simple and yet interesting story.
Good for children and also for grown ups.

I wont reveal the plot and story .If you want to know ..Read the book .
my assurance its a good book .  :)

The Dreamwalker's Child

The Dreamwalker's Child

-Steve Voake


The Dreamwalker's Child  book cover
hmmm ,,it's quite tough to decide about this book .I picked this book in Book Fair .Well.. book cover was awesome to attract and then read two pages to decide. I found those pages good and gave this book a chance.

This book is purely children fiction .The story is about how a boy happens to reach the land of Aurobon.
Aurobon is another world ,of those people who maintain the balance of nature.Wasps,Ants,flies,Mosquitoes all of this in their world are the high technological aircrafts. The description with some illustration is quite amusing to create fantasy in children about insects. Story in initial phases is not that catchy but as the chapters unfold the story gets interesting.
The description of the adventures of lead characters Sam and Skipper are awesome. Skipper being the adventure loving ,fun loving,full of confidence and daring girl, an awesome pilot who crashes a lot :) . Sam being rather curious about insects turns out to be the hero who saved the Earth and Aurobon .There are some very beautiful description of wars and strategy.Beautiful descriptions of places.the villains in story are also nicely portrayed.

Critical review: Though this book is awesome try but it does have some points.Writer Couldnt justify the title "the Dreamwalkers Child" to it's full intent. Dreamwalker's significance is missed.The significance of the child though highlighted but still i hoped for something more.
 There are moments when story would or should have matured but then for Children fiction it didn't and lost points.
Story also ends unexpectedly.There had to be some epilogue to complete the story.
Either the book was shortened or the story was elongated. Initially story unfolds slowly and in ending ends quite early.
Book rating will be 3 star .


Pros : The book has very good description how children perceive the insects.Like flies,wasps ,ants and other insects have been described as highly technological machines that work to maintain nature's balance.There are also some good illustrations. Then negligence of humans toward nature and mother Earth is also highlighted very well .Good for children .




This review is just my opinion .
Everyone has his own perception .

I do acknowledge the fact that a lot of efforts have been put up to write this book.I thank Author Steve Voake to have written the book.
