A story that evolves as it goes along
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The TARDIS arrives in a house in Perivale (Ace's home town), a house which is strangely familiar. It is a hundred years before Ace was carried off to Iceworld in a time storm, and she has some unresolved issues to deal with. The house is occupied by a group of characters who make the Addams' Family. And then there's what's in the cellar...'Ghost Light' was a great TV serial, possibly only marred by the density of the information making it a little hard to follow. In adapting his story to this novel, Marc Platt is able to clarify it, if only by the reader having far more control over how quickly events happen.Set well in the Victorian era, the story is based around the idea of evolution and informed by the Victorian debate on Darwin's theories. Focussing in on Ace, the story assists in making the Doctor once more a mysterious element in the story.
