Review: Doctor Who: Toy Soldiers by Paul Leonard

The New Doctor Who Adventures: Toy Soldiers
by Paul Leonard

This was better than I expected based on the book's reputation, but not particularly good. The Doctor and his companions investigate children disappearing in post-Great War Europe, and of course it's aliens fighting an interminable war who need recruits. Nice atmosphere, and Chris and Roz got a lot of interesting stuff to do, but Benny was wasted, and the story went to some pretty banal places.

Next Week: The return of the Sontarans in Shakedown!
