I’m going to start this review off by asking you to take a quick look at the cover of this novel. Now it depicts the Doctor intently examining a chess game between two skeletons, possibly even manipulating the way the game turns out, but the thing about that is that event doesn’t really happen in the novel. There are skeletons playing chess, but they are dead as doornails and the Doctor just gives them a passing glance. They have absolutely no more significance than the other skeletons in the scene and they don’t have nearly as much to do with the overarching plot of the novel. They don’t even tie into the arc that this novel is supposed to be a part of. The novel is actually about two plots, one in the twentieth century in Cambridge and the other in the far future on a Space Station where everyone has died. From these two plots the story basically becomes a rip off of the infamous incomplete Tom Baker story Shada. Both stories have large portions at Cambridge, a book that is dangerous, people who reveal themselves to be Time Lords, a robot used for comic relief, a companion who doesn’t understand the time period and even an old professor with short term memory loss, who has large connections with the Doctor. But instead of having Douglas Adams’s wit and charm imbued through every page, The Dimension Riders has any sort of humor sucked out of the novel and the changes to the basic plot that Blythe made have the awful habit of being really boring. Daniel Blythe. I’m a writer of books for children, young people and adults including some of the successful Doctor Who novels (BBC Books), and my own Shadow Runners (Chicken House Books), sold all over the world including the USA, Germany and Brazil. Emerald Greene and the Witch Stones (Acorn Books) came out in 2014. I write non-fiction, including Famous Robots and Cyborgs, as Dan Roberts, and books for Badger Learning aimed at more reluctant and challenged readers. I do a lot of visits with a Doctor Who theme – often staff and pupils will join in, with sonic screwdrivers, bow ties and long scarves seen in abundance in the Hall and Library! Since November 1963, Doctor Who has captured the imagination of fans of all ages – a time-travelling hero in a Police Box, whose face and character may change but whose quirky love of adventure and sense of justice remain the same. Meanwhile, sci-fi and the supernatural collide in my Shadow Runners and Emerald Greene books, set in a recognisable modern-day England, but one where dark forces gather around stone circles, misty lakes and ruined abbeys… Read them with the lights off at your peril! I give a wide-ranging talk about my writing life, combining pictures and words with sound and video, plus quizzes, workshops and a book-signing. Details Preferred age range: 8-14 year olds (Years 5,6,7,8 and 9 or equivalent) No of sessions per day: Sessions offered (at least one to be the presentation, please). Please note that I will not offer a full day of back-to-back writing workshops only, as I do not believe this is the best way for a school to make use of a visiting writer. The day should be a special event and memorable for all, and I try to reflect this in the range of activities. Session Length: Talk on Doctor Who & writing: 45-50 min plus 20 min questions, 10 min reading, signing afterwards Workshops: 2 x 1 hour or 1 x 2 hours. Areas prepared to travel to: I live in Yorkshire so North of England and Midlands (or anywhere that can reasonably be travelled to by rail in one day). These visits would require travel expenses. Rest of UK & Europe - happy to travel anywhere, but would require travel expenses and overnight accommodation. Train – usually second class return ticket, plus any tram/bus/taxi needed additionally. Titles include: Latest book: Exiles. Reluctant reader titles: KISS THE SKY HOPE AND TRUTH. Doctor Who: The Dimension Riders Doctor Who: Infinite Requiem Doctor Who: Autonomy. Shadow Runners Emerald Greene and the Witch Stones (2014) EMERALD GREENE: INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS (2017) Kill Order (Badger, 2017) Emerald Greene: Instruments of Darkness (Firecroft, 2017) I Spy. The Cut (16 + only) ‘The children were inspired to use their imaginations and create some fantastic writing. The whole school thoroughly enjoyed the visit and we hope to repeat it in the near future.’ Wolvercote Primary School, Oxford. ‘Daniel's ability to link contemporary ideas to our Gothic Horror project was a treat. His knowledge of Dr Who and his own status as an author provided fantastic inspiration for our pupils.’ Kirk Balk Community College, Barnsley. ‘[Daniel’s] presentation gave a valuable insight into the creative processes and practical requirements needed to become a successful author. He inspired and entertained the students with a wonderful presentation which encompassed the development of the Dr. Who series with visual flair and accompanying audio. He also included an interesting insight into his own personal journey. A workshop followed in the Learning Resource Centre which gave the students the opportunity to ask questions, look at the structure and examples of creative writing plus explore their own imagination. I would highly recommend Daniel to other learning institutions as we have had a very positive response from both students and staff.’ Harrogate Grammar School ‘The day was a great success, enjoyed by years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Daniel was enthusiastic and informative, putting across his love of the show [Doctor Who] but also that of writing and how the two combined at a young age. He used a good balance of speech, visual stills, readings, video and a pupil quiz in his presentation, which kept the children engaged.’ Hepworth Junior School, West Yorkshire. Published work: Other information: Doctor Who and Young Adult/children’s writer with over 20 years’ experience | Member of Society of Authors | Experienced speaker in primary and secondary schools since 2007. ILLUSTRATED PRESENTATION 1-hour multimedia presentation/Q&A: no limit on numbers. Resources: Presentation on own laptop, will need to connect to school audio-visual system with VGA and sound jack. Held in hall, library or similar space. A wide-ranging talk on my influences as a writer! It covers my childhood, first comics/stories, the history of Doctor Who and how it is bound up with my life, first success writing the New Adventures in the 1990s, how events inspired me (e.g. being a parent, travelling abroad), how to get published, how Doctor Who was relaunched for my children’s generation, the story of Shadow Runners and a whole lot more. TEAM QUIZ Numbers: 60-70 students in 10 teams of 6-7, approx. 45-50 minutes. Resources: audio-visual as above, flipchart or board for scoring. I offer a choice of two different quizzes – one on all aspects of Doctor Who (old and new), and the other a more general quiz covering age-appropriate books, films, comics, aspects of popular culture, etc., and linked to the books I have written. Both have a mixture of easy, moderate and hard questions, and there are prizes! WRITING WORKSHOPS Numbers: 25-30 per session. Resources: Normal classroom board, writing materials etc. A range of one-hour workshops which can be adapted for any KS2 or KS3 group. Topics include: ways of telling stories (using Doctor Who DVD and books), openings, characters, settings etc. For the youngest children I work with (Y3-4), I can offer a descriptive writing workshop based around Doctor Who monsters and planets. I have also offered KS4 sessions in the past – please ask for details and we can talk further if this is what you would like. BOOK-SIGNING Numbers: as required (rough advance idea of numbers useful!) Resources: table and chair, water. The books I bring into school are Doctor Who, Shadow Runners and Emerald Greene, each sold at £5.00. I can provide a letter for parents outlining the books on offer plus age suitability, etc. I’ve visited over 400 primary and secondary schools since 2007, and I believe what I do is very valuable. I’m passionate about getting children and young people reading and writing, and in 2014/15 I was Patron of Reading for a secondary school in Doncaster. I’ve also appeared at numerous book festivals all over the country, including the Hay Festival, the Wessex Children’s Book Festival, Off the Page in Stirling and Off the Shelf in Sheffield (seven times since 1999!). Teachers, pupils and librarians have described my sessions as ‘inspiring’ and ‘enthralling’, and I try to make my sessions as inclusive as possible. Staff have found them especially useful for the More Able & Talented/G&T students, for encouraging reluctant readers, and for providing a sense of inspiration, positive identity and community for sci-fi/fantasy/comic fans in school. The day is most suitable for pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3 (workshops adapted according to age) and I have worked most often with Years 5, 6, 7 and 8. Virgin Adventures Reviews. Welcome to ground zero for what is essentially the flagship series of Dale’s Ramblings, the Virgin Adventures Reviews, looking through every book published by Virgin Books based on Doctor Who from 1991 to 1999, both the New Adventures and the Missing Adventures. This is essentially just an alphabetical listing that I’ll update as I go along with links to each of the reviews. Hope you enjoy! (NB: As I started this project when I was just under the age of 15, some of the early reviews are of… lesser quality.

The first book, published in 1991, continued the adventures of the Seventh Doctor and Ace where the television story Survival left off; later instalments introduced new companions like Bernice Summerfield, who became the range's main protagonist in 1997 when Virgin lost the licence for Doctor Who fiction. As the New Adventures were geared for an older audience than the TV show, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and sexual elements. Virgin Books launched two spin-off lines following the initial success of the New Adventures: the Decalogs, a series of short story collections; and the Missing Adventures, a novel range that told new stories with the first six Doctors. The New Adventures concluded with Twilight of the Gods in December 1999, but Big Finish Productions obtained the licence for the later New Adventures characters and continued telling stories with Bernice Summerfield, Jason Kane, and Irving Braxiatel in their own line of audios, novels, and short stories. From 1999 onward, Big Finish adapted several novels for audio by Big Finish, either directly or altered to omit the Doctor and focus on Summerfield. In 2007, the New Adventures novel Human Nature was adapted into the television episodes Human Nature and The Family of Blood . Although several authors initially attempted to separate the Virgin Books and BBC Books continuities, the separation was eventually relaxed, and references to New and Missing Adventures began to appear in the Eighth Doctor and Past Doctor Adventures. In DWM 482, Steven Moffat said that he considered the New Adventures to be "a separate (and equally valid) continuity" to the BBC Wales television series.

The Dying Days reintroduced Bernice Summerfield and the settings that would predominate the later New Adventures; its afterword specified that the following novels belonged to a series of " new New Adventures", although they were published under the same imprint, logo, and name.
