I wonder if anyone ever wanted to read basically the exact same book as EarthWorld down to the same author but without it coming at a really strange time in an overly complicated book series, with a worse Doctor, a less interesting companion, less gay, and not as tightly written.

In any case, they got it. Still, it has a fictional museum, and that's possibly the best setting you can put into a story. Oh, and the start of each chapter is good.
