The edges of space, the far distant future, an era even the Time Lords are not supposed to visit. Laid claim to by disputing factions of humans and Chelonians, the planet Barclow has become the catalyst for an unusual war. In two hundred years of hostilities not a shot has been fired, and the opposing combatants are the best of friends. But when the Doctor, Romana and K9 arrive, they discover the peace is not going to last. Something dangerous is happening behind the scenes. An election loom. Bodies are piling up. Tensions are growing. Someone, somewhere is trying to make this well-mannered war very angry indeed. Only the Time-travellers can save the day. But that might be their biggest mistake. One of two releases this month adapting popular Doctor Who novels from the 1990's. The Well-Mannered War was originally written by Gareth Roberts - now a TV writer on shows including Doctor Who itself. Tim McInnerny is a familiar face from TV and film, though to British audiences is probably best know as Captain Darling from Blackadder Goes Forth. John Leeson, the voice of robot dog K9 is now a regarded writer on the subject of food and wine.

A very English ending By Amazon Customer The TARDIS approaches its maximum distance into the future, and the Doctor forces an emergency materialisation to prevent its destruction. The TARDIS crew find themselves arrive on Barclow, which is a planet claimed by both the humans and the Chelonians, who are waging a war in a very polite fashion (hence the title). But there are also other matters afoot, and a great enemy (whose identity I'm not at liberty to divulge here) is behind a complex plot to destroy the Doctor. Oh, and K9 runs for president as well...This book is the last of Virgin's Missing Adventures series, featuring past incarnations of the Doctor. The decision not to renew Virgin's license plays a subtle role throughout the book, up to an including the very tongue-in-cheek ending.The Doctor and Romana are yet again well characterised by Gareth Roberts, and the return of the Chelonian (originally created by Gareth Roberts for the seventh Doctor novel, 'The Highest Science') make a welcome return. The book also looks at a few other important aspects of Doctor Who history and plays a role in setting up the Bernice Summerfield adventure series that Virgin published following BBC re-claiming the Doctor Who license.It is both a great book and important for defining what was to come.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. It's an end, but the moment has been prepared for. By A Customer This novel commemorates two endings - it's the last of Virgin's Missing Adventures, set at the end of the period during which Graham Williams produced the TV series. The book consequently has a slightly more melancholy tone than Gareth Roberts' other Missing Adventures, but the wit that made his other stories such a joy to read is still present. The Chelonians - the militaristic giant tortoises featured in Roberts' New Adventures The Highest Science and Zamper - are back, but they're not the villains this time round. The main enemy is initially revealed as a darkness, though there's more to it than that. Then again, there's more to almost everything in TWMW than meets the eye. The last episode (the story being structured as a classic four-parter) has an impressive selection of twists, and a thought-provoking conclusion. TWMW includes plenty of bizarre and witty concepts of the type so often found in Roberts' work and the DW era in which the story is set. The sequence with the possessed photocopier is arguably the best fusion of the comic and the chilling ever to be found in DW in any format. Definitely worth getting if the opportunity presents itself.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. WOW! That should say it all. By John Misiewicz Mr. Roberts has written a masterpiece! This book kept me guessing until the very end. Not only was the ending quite a surprise, it was also a very logical ending. Furthermore, getting to the end of this many-paged Dr. Who book happens very quickly as each page leaves the reader anxious to get to the next. This tale was told the way a Dr. Who story needs to be told. Each chapter was a cliffhanger; the Doctor was his wonderfully charasmatic self (as only Tom Baker could portray); K-9 was fabulous (I don't care what others say, I like K-9!); and Romana is simply charming (I love the final scene between the Doctor and Romana). Having not read the New Adventure The Highest Science, I cannot say if the Chelonians are accuratly portrayed in this novel. However, being both a history teacher and a prior military serviceman, - history is full of examples of how enemy soldiers developed friendships- I can appreciate the friendships displayed between the Chelonians and the humans in The Well-Mannered War. All in all, well worth buying at any price. If you are lucky enough to find it, buy it before someone else beats you to it!
