Conundrum is an original novel written by Steve Lyons and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice.[1] A prelude to the novel, also penned by Lyons, appeared in Doctor Who Magazine #208. This novel is the fourth book in the "Alternate Universe cycle" which continues until No Future.
Plot
What seems to be a simple murder investigation in a quiet English village becomes something far more deadly for the Seventh Doctor and his companions when the inhabitants begin to exhibit superhero abilities...
Continuity
- Conundrum features the Land of Fiction first seen in the 1968 television serial The Mind Robber. Lyons' later New AdventureHead Games is a sequel to this novel and also relates to the Land of Fiction.
- This novel is effectively written in the first person by Jason, the Master of the Land of Fiction. This enables metafictional concepts; for instance, he grows frustrated that he finds it impossible to read the Doctor's mind, a reference to the New Adventures guideline that the books should not show what the Doctor is thinking.
- この小説では、ドクターがターディスのカメレオン回路を修復する2度目の場面が描かれています。前回は6代目ドクターの『サイバーマンの攻撃』です。ただし、厳密に言えば、これは同じターディスではありません。
