Most. Awesome. Thing. Ever.
Aug. 12th, 2011 05:18 pmI was in Waterstones earlier and completely by chance came across a Doctor Who book written by Michael Moorcock. Had a bit of a giddy fangirl moment in the store when I realised my favourite fantasy author had written a book for my favourite TV show ever, and I think my delighted squeals may have attracted a few odd looks. But anyway, I bought it immediately and it's looks set to be amazing. It's called The Coming Of The Terraphiles and it's about the Doctor and Amy's trek through the Moorcockian multiverse to the planet of Miggea.
Best of all, it features Jerry Cornelius as a space pirate. How bloody awesome is that? If you've read The Inimical Prey you'll know how much I love space pirates anyway, but I love Jerry Cornelius just as much. I think I've just found a rival for Tevo for when I do the TIP sequel. ;D
I've only read the blurb and I'm trying to be disciplined and save reading the rest it for when I'm on holiday next week, but it's going to be difficult. This is literally my dream book. The only way this could possibly be cooler is if Michael Moorcock and Neil Gaiman were to co-write a multiple Doctors story featuring Nine, Ten and Eleven. (Please let that happen. If one of my DW dreams has come true why not another one?)
I don't think I'll be able to wait. I'm going to have to start reading it now.
