ROUND FOURTEEN: POLL EIGHT

Earthworld by Jacqueline Rayner

vs…

The Banquo Legacy by Andy Lane & Justin Richards

[bracketsoffear]

EarthWorld (Jacqueline Rayner) "Synopsis: "Anji Kapoor has just had the worst week of her entire life, and things aren't getting any better. She should be back at her desk, not travelling through time and space in a police box with a couple of strange men.

The Doctor (Strange Man No. 1) is supposed to be returning her to Soho 2001 AD. So quite why there are dinosaurs outside, Anji isn't sure. Sad sixties refugee Fitz (Strange Man No. 2) seems to think they're either in prehistoric times or on a parallel Earth. And the Doctor is probably only pretending to know what's going on — because if he really knew, surely he would have mentioned the homicidal triplet princesses, the teen terrorists, the deadly android doubles (and triples) and the hosts of mad robots?

Anji's never going to complain about Monday mornings in the office again… "

Why it's Stranger: The setting alone is uncannily bizarre -- a theme park on one of Jupiter's moons devoted to Earth history, with research drawn from mistranslations, myths, and popular fiction. Sinister androids populate the place, and everyone is hiding the most terrible secrets. Meanwhile, Fitz Kreiner is having an identity crisis about being a clone, which is only made worse when he has to battle an Elvis impersonator to the death."

MaMa (Ruby Jean Jensen) "Once upon a time there lived a sweet little dolly. Her porcelain-like face was so smooth, just like a baby. Her mouth even had a tiny hole so she could eat and breathe. But her one beaded glass eye gleamed with mischief and evil. She had waited a long time in the attic for someone to set her free…

Once upon a time there lived a sweet little girl. The only place she was happy was in the attic with her dolly. If she could have seen her little doll's legs kick, she would have been frightened. If she could have felt her little doll's arms squeeze, she would have been shocked. But if she could have read her little doll's thoughts she would have run from the attic forever--for her sweet little dolly only had killing her on her mind…"

My EDA collection so far! The first one I owned was Earthworld, but I started with Vampire Science, then Unnatural History, and now I am on The City of the Dead (it takes me ages to read these because of college and work, but I manage!)

Most of these I bought on my own, with Earthworld, Unnatural History, The Eight Doctors, and The City of the Dead being presents that were given to me.

Pretty happy with my collection so far! :)

I also have The Stranger which sorta counts as an EDA.....

ATARI X BUTCHER BILLY Collection: Swordquest: Earthworld by Butcher Billy

[crystalromana]

‘Shut up!’ yelled Zequathon, the blond boy. ‘Are you working for the President? Trying to find out our plans?’

The Doctor made an elaborate ‘zipping’ gesture across his mouth.

‘If you refuse to tell us, that means yes,’ said Beezee, coldly.

The Doctor raised his hands in the air, a pleading look in his eyes. Anji decided to intervene. ‘I think he means,’ she said, shaking her head (the Doctor knew how to be irritating), ‘that he’s shut up because you asked him to, and so can’t answer any of your questions without unshutting-up. Look, just tell him he can speak.’

‘All right! Speak!’ said Zequathon. ‘Answer me!’

The Doctor unzipped his mouth. ‘I don’t know who the President is, and even if I did I doubt I’d be working for him. I didn’t know about you until I was put in this cell, I didn’t know you had any plans until you mentioned them, and unless you’re going around blowing people up I’m probably on your side anyway. Now, could you imagine that I’m telling the truth and we really don’t know what’s going on – any of it – and tell us all about it? You don’t have to talk about any of your plans,’ he added kindly.

The Taking of Planet 5 by Simon Bucher-Jones & Mark Clapham

vs…

Earthworld by Jacqueline Rayner

- this is just for fun! all pairings were randomly generated by a ranking website

- you can leave propaganda in notes and reblogs

- no books will be eliminated

- this is absolutely not a perfect way of ranking, i can't be bothered to think any harder about this

The Duplicated Man (James Blish and Robert Lowndes) "The central premise of this novel concerns a cloning device that requires six different people, one for each duplicate to be created, to be hooked into the machine. Turns out while the memories are copied the personalities and appearances are affected by the subjective views of the various individuals. E.g., one copy is actually a bit shorter and more cowardly than the original because that's how its creator perceived the original while another due to her hero worship was a physically and mentally perfected version of the original."
