"Dr Who - Only Human", by Gareth Roberts
Another of the recent batch based on the new series, this is a bit of an oddity, even by Doctor Who standards. The action (mainly set in prehistoric times and split between cave men, neanderthals, and an incongruous group of genetic experimenters from the future) has a very exaggerated, comic-book feel. Poor old Captain Jack gets exiled into a side story for most of the book, only speaking through a diary, which is a shame as the opening scenes use his character very well. It's a readable enough book, but my least favourite so far, probably because it feels the furthest away from the established feel of the series, both in terms of TV and the novels.
