Shada: the infamous story that was never completed. Now finished at last.
Technically, this is a novelisation. But it's impossible to compare to the TV story for the reasons outlined above (indeed Douglas Adams is said to have disliked it so much he would have been happy for it to never see the light of day. Legend has it that the only reason why the 1992 video realise saw the light of day was because he was signing a pile of papers and didn't read what he was signing!). As such it's really an original work in it's own right. I already knew that Gareth Roberts is a fan of Adams' work and a big fan on season 17 Doctor Who.
His love shines through as this was an absolute joy to read. I can give it no higher praise than that.
