The Titles of Predictableness

Outpost Gallifrey have revealed the titles of the 10-part serialised novels of Doctor Who for publication in 2009.

As with any good/bad Doctor Who story, the titles are all of the form The of .

I always think this to be a very good/bad idea as the genius/stupidity of these titles immediately become memorable.

Many of the greatest/worst Doctor Who stories are in this format: The Hand of Fear, Caves of Androzani, Carnival of Monsters, The Power of Kroll, Revelation of the Daleks.

Getting the main point of a story into its title is often something that makes the adventure much more enthralling/boring too.

Anyway, the 10 book titles are:

1. The Dust of Ages (Justin Richards)
2. The Graves of Mordane (Colin Brake)
3. The Colour of Darkness (Richard Dungworth)
4. The Depths of Despair (Justin Richards)
5. The Vampire of Paris (Steve Cole)
6. The Game of Death (Trevor Baxendale)
7. The Planet of Oblivion (Justin Richards)
8. The Picture of Emptiness (Jacqueline Raynor)
9. The Art of War (Mike Tucker)
10. The End of Time (Justin Richards)

And another thing, despite my grumblings, I will probably still buy these and read them!
