Tell me what you know, so I can tell you that youre wrong. Gallifrey. The Doctors home planet. For twenty thousand centuries the Gallifreyans have been the most powerful race in the cosmos. They have circumnavigated infinity and eternity, harnessed science and conquered death. They are the Lords of Time, and have used their powers carefully. But now a new force has been unleashed, one that is literally capable of anything. It is enough to give even the Time Lords nightmares. More than that: it is enough to destroy them. It is one of their own. Waiting for them at the end of the universe. Featuring the Eighth Doctor, this adventure celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of Doctor Who. Eighteen years can be a long time. Its the space of time that separates William Hartnell in An Unearthly Child from Tom Baker in Logopolis. Its the space of time that separates Sylvester McCoy in Remembrance Of The Daleks from David Tennant in Doomsday. Its also the period of time, give or take a month or two, from when Im writing the review of Lance Parkins The Infinity Doctors. It was half that time ago that separates when I first read it and loved it from the time I read it a second time. As Doctor Who fans, were warned that the memory cheats but is that always the case? Part of what sets The Infinity Doctors apart both then and now is what Parkin chose to do with it. To quote from the blurb on the back of the novel: Featuring the Doctor, this adventure . Within pages of starting the novel, its clear this isnt quite the Doctor Who you might have been expecting going in. The novel is not unlike the later Big Finish series Doctor Who Unbound, set outside the usual confines of the series. Its something that has driven some fans crazy in the past two decades, trying to figure out where and when it fits into the shows canon. Without a specified Doctor, is it a pre-Unearthly Child First Doctor, the Eighth Doctor of the BBC novels, an Eighth Doctor before the Time War (which would be created by Russell T Davies in a few more years), or none of the above even?Heres another, perhaps more important question: Does it really even matter?What Parkin does in the space of 280 is exactly what the blurb suggests celebrate[s] the thirty-fifth anniversary of Doctor Who. Parkin draws on three and a half decades of Doctor Who lore across different media ranging from TV to comics to novels to create a sweeping vision of the Doctors homeworld of Gallifrey rarely seen elsewhere (except maybe in Marc Platts Lungbarrow which gets references here as well). Expect appearances by some familiar names and faces, new visions of familiar places, and much more. Yet the novel rarely feels like its just covering old ground but is instead reinventing it around you as you read, making it readable by fans both new and old.Nowhere are things both familiar and different than with the Doctor himself. The aforementioned questions of identity linger over the novel throughout from the first time we meet this Doctor with close-cropped hair and a long face. Theres strong echoes of Paul McGanns Eighth Doctor to him, especially in the characterization and dialogue. Theres a more human aspect to this Doctor, a sense of genuine wonder and excitement to him that feels in keeping with McGanns Doctor and theres even a brief reference to the TV Movie thrown in at one point. Yet in other ways he completely new to us, a different man from the Doctors we had encountered before (or even since). Hes does things that are very Doctorish but arent quite in keeping with any of the ones weve met before, particularly a set of actions going into the last act of the novel. The Doctor at once familiar but with layers that perhaps only a literary work could explore.Nowhere is all that more clear than in the novels last act. In it, Parkin brings together elements from not just different media but across the shows history together into an incredible but actually quite eventful series of events that brings back one of the shows villains, explores the Doctors background, puts Gallifrey along with the rest universe under threat, and pulls off a great meta-ficitonal moment on page 229 along the way. It also gives us the scene that gives this novel its title, and raises a good point about the nature of canon and the history of the series: that as it important as it might seem to ask how we got here, theres times when we need to just enjoy where we are and find ways of going forward. For a series that had been off the air for nearly a decade, that was still years away from regenerating for a new audience in a new century, it was an important message and the sense of false nostalgia stopping progress is one that is as important now as it was then for the series and the reader alike.Whatever Doctor it might feature and at whatever point in his life it might take place aside, whats clear after nine years and two separate readings is that there isnt anything else quite like The Infinity Doctors anywhere else in the series. Within its 280 pages, Parkin doesnt just celebrate Doctor Who at thirty-five but turns it and everything we think we know on its head. Its not a case of out with the old, in with the new but finding new ways to explore old ground and tell a story that uses the past as a springboard for the future.Its no wonder then that in the first I, Who book that Lars Pearson described this as the perfect novel to make into a Doctor Who feature film. Whats old is new, as the saying goes. The Infinity Doctors, after nearly two decades, proves that point rather admirably and remains a must-read for fans of Doctor Who.
