Remember what I said about that flurry of "Who" novelised releases? Case in proof, two new "Decide Your Destiny" books, dubbed "The Coldest War" and "Claws Of The Macra". Both of these releases feature an old enemy from the Doctor's past (but only technically since the 2005 revamp), the former starring the Sycorax from David Tennant's first adventure as the Tenth Doctor, "The Christmas Invasion", and the latter obviously bringing about the revival of the Macra, who were previously in a Patrick Troughton story then were seen terrorising New Earth's underbelly in the Series 3 episode "Gridlock". While both books have the Doctor and Amy Pond as guides, it's you- the reader- who decides how the "episodes" play out, with dire consequences or brilliant outcomes (such as the offer to travel temporarily in the TARDIS with the pair) depending on your choices. Undoubtedly you'll have seen this sort of release before, and the "Decide Your Destiny" novels don't completely do the series justice, but none the less at just a fiver each this pair of books is well worth taking a look at, and will provide hours of fun in conjunction with the website (occasionaly you'll be asked to visit the website for an animated scene or game to continue the story, boasting replay value for each release)
