Summary: Where's the Doctor?
Comment: Wolfsbane: A fantastic premise for a book, marred by the fact that it was essentially and Eighth Doctor book, featuring Fourth Doctor companions. And the Eighth Doctor isn't even himself in the book, he's just an important character in this novel.
Which brings us to the question, where is the Doctor?
The book starts with Harry Sullivan being left behind a few days time in England, while a werewolf is tearing people apart. A few days later, The 4th Doctor (who seems to disappear after a few chapters) and Sarah Jane Smith arrive, finding Harry's tombstone. Sounds good, but alas, it was not meant to be.
The rest of the novel jumps from Harry to Sarah Jane, while the Eighth Doctor pops up and renders Harry aid (although the only reason you realize that he's the Eighth Doctor is because it says so on the back of the book). Sarah Jane goes on a maddening search, trying to discover what happened to Harry. Once in a while, Tom Baker's Doctor will show up and say something, but he never acts like that particular incarnation. Swap the clothes and hair out, and it could be any number of Doctors. Heck, quit calling his character the Doctor and suddenly he's just another guy in the town. His role is that small.
The only things saving this book from being a 1-star book was the fantastic description, and a pretty clever ending. If you like Sarah Jane and Harry enough to read a book just about them, grab "Wolfbane". If you want to actually read about Doctor Who, stick to your trusty copy of "Festival of Death".
