From award-winning author A.L. Kennedy, an original Doctor Who novel featuring the beloved Fourth Doctor, as played by Tom Baker.
“I shall make you the jewel at the heart of the universe.”
Something distinctly odd is going on in Arbroath. It could be to do with golfers being dragged down into the bunkers at the Fetch Brothers’ Golf Spa Hotel, never to be seen again. It might be related to the strange twin grandchildren of the equally strange Mrs Fetch--owner of the hotel and fascinated with octopuses. It could be the fact that people in the surrounding area suddenly know what others are thinking, without anyone saying a word.
Whatever it is, the Doctor is most at home when faced with the distinctly odd. With the help of Fetch Brothers’ Junior Receptionist Bryony, he’ll get to the bottom of things. Just so long as he does so in time to save Bryony from quite literally losing her mind, and the entire world from destruction.
Because something huge, ancient and alien lies hidden beneath the ground and it’s starting to wake up…

I was slightly disappointed since the book was advertised as an all-new adventure
By Amazon Customer
For anyone that has read the collection of short stories in Doctor Who: Time Trips, this particular adventure will be very familiar. It is simply one of those stories expanded into a novel. While the story line, itself, is fast paced and upbeat, I was slightly disappointed since the book was advertised as an all-new adventure, which it was not. For those that enjoy an abbreviated form, the one in Time Trips is more than sufficient. For those that like a little more detail, the book would be the way to go.

A hit for fans of Doctor Who
By Jamie Kline (Lucky Devil Reviews)
I'm a relatively new convert to the Doctor Who fandom, but ever since the first episode I watched (Rose) I've been hooked. I can't really say I have a favorite Doctor, because I think they each bring something unique and special to the role. Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse centers around the 4th Doctor, who I am not familiar with as I have not yet gone back and watched the older episodes. Although each actor plays the role a bit differently, the essence of the Doctor is always the same. The author nailed his personality, which involves a mixture of compassion, courage, intelligence, and an air of superiority.
And where would the Doctor be without his companions? In this story he befriends a young receptionist named Bryony Mailer, who is fed up with her job and dreams of bigger and better things. He also meets Mr. Patterson, or Putta, who is not exactly a normal man. What he is, however, is very cowardly and awkward, and he just so happens to have a huge crush on Bryony. Bryony is just about as different from him as can be; she is very driven, confident, and courageous. I admired her, but found myself frequently annoyed by Putta, at least for the first half of the book. While Bryony remained strong in the face of danger, Putta had to work hard to overcome his timid nature and I did find some respect for him by the end. The Doctor, of course, was his usual genius self, which often came off as condescending or rude, but I guess hundreds of years of experience make it hard to deal with foolishness and stupidity.
The foe the Doctor and his companions come up against is ancient and powerful. You know it's going to be a wild ride when the Doctor is very obviously afraid of the creature and its powers. Even with its psychic abilities, it isn't one of the most interesting alien species the Doctor has ever come across (in my book anyway). He definitely has to depend heavily on his friends in order to find a solution, but that's not a rare thing in the Doctor Who universe. Even with all of his wisdom, his companions often play a big part in saving the day.
Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse was the first Doctor Who novel I've ever read, but I don't think it will be my last. Author A.L. Kennedy is an obvious fan of the show and she definitely was able to accurately capture the Doctor's personality. I could see the whole story play out in my head as I was reading and it was easy to pretend it was an actual episode of the show. If you are a Doctor Who fan, even if you aren't familiar with the older incarnations of the Doctor, check this book out.

A mixed bag of a story in the Doctor Who world
By Love2read
On Arbroath, something strange is going on. Golfers are disappearing, people are hearing other people’s thoughts and then there is the strange grandchildren of the equally weird Mrs. Fetch, who owns the local hotel. Whatever is going on here, the Doctor will figure it out, with the help of the hotel junior receptionist, Bryony. But something alien and ancient is awakening and it is up to the Doctor to find a way to stop it before it is too late. .
I love the new version of Doctor Who and with this installment, we get to take an adventure with the Fourth Doctor, who was played by Tom Baker on the show and I got to admit, it was a fun yet confusing story to read. THE DROSTEN’S CURSE is my first foray into the older (now classic) doctors and I got to admit the author did a bang up job in capturing the Doctor’s personality within the pages. This doctor has some levels of psychotic wonder and awe in his travels and the author does a great job in capturing that as well as his emotions within the story. As I haven’t read any of the classic Doctor Who stories with the older Doctors, this was a slight departure for me. The story is at times creepy and suspenseful yet you can’t help but wonder when the Doctor will figure it all out. It had a nice suspense filled emotion going through the whole book, especially when you have portions where you were going ‘WHAT?’ in that scared high pitch voice. This would have been even better if it was a dark and stormy night, in my opinion, just to up the creepy factor a bit.
The downside I found with this latest book in the Doctor Whology is the pacing at times went from manically fast to slower than a turtle. There was no happy medium and I got a sense of the author trying to fit a lot of things in the story as they could while keeping true to the world that is Doctor Who. There are a lot of details within THE DROSTEN’S CURSE, so many that the story gets lost at times within details we didn’t need to know and there are a lot of characters here, so many it felt like I needed a scorecard to keep track of them all. All those characters and details kept cluttering up the story at times and took me out of the story, which was not what I enjoy when I read a new book.
THE DROSTEN’S CURSE is a hit or a miss for me. I loved it had captured the essence of the fourth Doctor yet the story itself kept bouncing all over the place. As much as I wanted to rate this book higher, I just couldn’t due to the mixed bag of story pacing that went from one extreme to another to way more characters than needed. If you enjoy classic Doctor Who then you might enjoy a trip with the fourth Doctor. Unfortunately for me, THE DROSTEN’S CURSE wasn’t a grand adventure as I would have liked.
