What more can one say about Stephen Marley's "Managra" than that it is a masterpiece of not only the limits to which the "Dr. Who" genre can be taken, but also an exercise in highly entertaining speculative fiction. Marley's book is set on Earth in the far future, where the continent of Europa is an insane asylum populated by the power-hungry, the undead, and cloned copies of famous historical figures. Into this milieu steps the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane...and the fireworks begin
The best Dr Who novel - ever 5 out of 5 stars.

Managra is simply the best Dr Who novel ever written. Its dark humor is hilarious, the pace cracking, and the wit sharp and biting. The story takes place in a sort of Hammer House of Horror living theme park where characters from different periods in European history jockey for position (one of these positions is that of Official Antichrist). It'a a pity the new Dr Who series hasn't yet come near the imagination and comedic wit of this book. Read it, I urge you. Marley is the uncrowned king of Dr Who novel-writers.
Editorial Review:
Based on the widely acclaimed television show of the 1970s, which still boasts a tremendous following today, this collection of the missing adventures of Dr. Who Time Lord, promises to enthrall fans of the popular series.
