Not entirely accurate on Ten, or the Sontarans, and it felt open, loose. I read that these shorter DW stories are geared toward children, to be something short and interesting and maybe get them to read more in general. That makes sense, as Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games humans Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games this story are kids. But it only made me miss Ten more. Aug 10, Amanda rated it really Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games it. That being said, if you are not already Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games Doctor Who fan, this book is probably not for you. You will be totally lost, because it references things that happened in the TV series fairly frequently. Based on the name "Globe Games"the use of teenager athletes, and the specialization of each a I am a huuuuuge Doctor Who fan, and my favorite Doctor is definitely David Tennant's Doctor. Based on the name "Globe Games"the use of teenager athletes, and the specialization of each athlete, I concluded that this is more of an alien- infused Olympics. Basically, the Sontarans infiltrate "The Base" the training facility Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games which the athletes reside and trainand after realizing their athletic prowess, force them to potentially "die for the glory of Sontar" by performing in the Sontaran Games. And of course, the Doctor must intervene to save them Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games. The only thing that would have made this book better is one of Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games companions preferably Donna since she's my favoritebut alas, he makes this journey alone. But, in true Doctor style, he makes plenty of friends along the way, and there are some pretty decent characters in this novel. I certainly recommend this book to Doctor Who fans that would like a quick and enjoyable -- albeit a bit cheesy -- read. Sep 04, Kirstie Ellen rated it liked it Recommends it for: Whovians. Shelves: doctor-whosci-fi. Being one of the quick reads The Sontaran Games takes about an hour to read, yet still manages to be really quite good. They're basically training to becoming Olympians on a very extreme scale.

Meanwhile, the Sontarans invade the academy and The Doctor has to solve the murders that have, and are still happening. If you're looking for a very quick read and craving a Tennant top up which is pretty much always if you're like me then I recommend this book for you. It ends nicely, which a sweet message pressing the idea that no body is perfect - and thank god because often I find with these short books the ending is rushed. Despite being a mere 98 pages long it still manages a couple of plot twists, several goofy Tennant smiles and a gruesome who-y scene when a dismembered hand is found near the pool. Not to mention several tragic yet perhaps traditional? Supposedly a great temporary side-kick here, Emma - a swimmer - helps The Doctor work out this mystery as he bumbles through in his familiar silly attitude to serious matters. The climatic end of the story is brilliantly done too and come on, who doesn't find the potato-like Sontarans hilarious? Thumbs up the very Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games representation of Tennant and to a nice little quirky story. Jun 30, Justin Godwin rated it it was ok Shelves: novels- doctor-whonovels-sci-finovels-fiction. The Sontaran Games follows an absurdly silly concept, fails to serve its many characters justice, and fails to do anything serious and new with Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games Doctor or the Sontarans. None the less, this book is a quaint, fun and simple short story. Shelves: media-tie-inDoctor Who: The Sontaran Games. This book is short, only 98 pages long. I decided to pick up this book because it features my favorite monster of the week, the Sontarans! Sadly Rayner doesn't quite get the Sontarans right. I'm glad she keeps with the Sontaran tradition of experimenting on their enemies but that's as far she goes. They way the Doctor and the teenaged athletes defeat the Sontarans was really lame. I thought the 10th Doctor was a bit out of character in this book. I'll work it out. And "But I know who you're looking for, now, Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games Stinks. I don't feel like the Doctor especially 10 would say stuff like that. I feel like the author just catered 10's dialogue for the younger audience, which is all well and good. But keeping him in character is good too. The ending is very deus ex machina as well. I wouldn't recommend this one, but if I had to I'd recommend it for the younger fans of Doctor Who out there. They're really the only ones who'd like this book, I think. Jun 16, Alissa rated it liked it Shelves: doctor-whohumormysteryscience- fictiontime-travelschoolbritish. The tenth Doctor arrives at BASE on Earth, a fierce training facility for athletes hoping to compete in the Globe Games, and finds out that several deaths have occurred Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games and each has happened just when the lights went out. Worried that any police inquiries would spoil their chances of being chosen for the games, the young athletes have been covering up the deaths. At least there won't be anyone in the way while the Doctor investigates This is a short, easy, fun read. It feels like Dr. Who brain candy, just like the other Dr. Who Quickreads I've read thus far. If you're looking for something easy and fun and you love Dr. Who or even just sci fi give this one a try. Jan 15, Megan rated it really liked it Shelves: doctor-whoread-in The Sontaran Games takes the Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games to an academy where people train for the Globe Games, which are similar to the Olympics. However, as usual, as soon as he arrives there's trouble that he had to stop and a mystery he has to solve. This was a fun and quick read.
