Our reviews of Ben Aaronovitch's work

The takes

What we have said about Ben Aaronovitch

  • Aaronovitch novelizing his own Doctor Who script from 1988. Rare case where the novel outperforms the broadcast.

  • A 1997 Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures novel co-written by Ben Aaronovitch and Kate Orman. Operatic, dense, the end of a long arc.

  • Aaronovitch's 1995 Doctor Who novel, riffing on Iain Banks's Culture. Better than tie-in fiction has any right to be.

  • A Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures novel from the mid-90s. Better than it has any right to be, weirder than the show ever managed.
