Doctor Who - The Wheel of Ice by Stephen Baxter

Through some weird twist of irony, I first became aware of Stephen Baxter about twenty years ago, when I read The Time Ships, which is another sequel to a Wells novel. But for some reason, Stephen Baxter’s authorized sequel to the original novel has just brought me to a crashing halt. I had no trouble with the two grammatically whimsical DG Leigh novellas. So consider this my surrender: I am giving up on trying to be an absolute completist about this whole War of the Worlds thing, and I’m going to just move on and knock out the things that are actually left in my queue - one movie, I think three comic books, and seven TV episodes - and address anything else that pops up purely on the “if it tickles my fancy” basis. But what has actually broken me and made me stall out is something more inexplicable. And obviously, living in a slow-motion action replay of the worst sins of the 1980s has not really helped fill me with desire to finish off the TV series. Just something that fills me with an ineffable desire not to go on.

It isn’t always because I encounter something bad even. I tried to do a Michael Moriarty Movie Marathon years ago, and it fell apart four movies in because I watched Hitler Meets Christ. I think, when you get down to it, most of these long-term projects I try to throw myself into tend to come off the rails because I hit something that is a breaking point for me. This is what the cover of my copy looks like.
