Review of The Forgotten Army by WhoPotterVian
29 June 2024
I think this book easily has to be one of the best Matt Smith era Doctor Who novels I have read. It perfectly captures the whimsical fairytale vibe of that era, effortlessly captures the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond's voices, and provides a fun and charming tale of a mammoth in 2010s New York, and its tiny army of alien soldiers.
The narrative evokes classic stories like Gulliver's Travels and Invasion of the Body-Snatchers, with a tiny hint of Ratatouille (oddly enough). It's a pleasure to read from start to finish, and never gets dull.
