Roberts, Cornell, Russell and perhaps even a bit of the bold thinking and revamping of a Lawrence Miles. Mike Tucker is trying on many hats in this one. Prime Time is a good, fun read. Its surprise regarding Ace may have later repercussions. Its best asset is that it introduces the Fleshsmiths, monsters I hope to see more of in the future.
Tucker generates vivid visuals and carries the reader on a rollercoaster ride.
The Virgin books took Doctor Who into the world of the adult and the abstract. Mike Tucker's Seventh Doctor is centered in a more innocent time, an era of a children's show. He mixes childish jokes with pop referencing and generates a book with a strong message candy coated in a fun and entertaining romp. If Interference was Schindler's List then Prime Time is Indiana Jones, and there certainly is a welcome place for that. Add a dash of music and you certainly are on your way.
