This highly unusual adventure will get rave reviews, Jan 27 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Managra (Paperback)
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, Jun 28 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Managra (Paperback)
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.

Wonderful reprise of fictional and historical characters, Nov 30 2000
By "grrreg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Managra (Paperback)
(Good Lord - this book has 8 reviews, 7 of which aren't about it - including 1 from me!)The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Sarah in the 33rd century in a place called Europa, in which live a variety of beings called Reprises, who are recreations of fictional and historical characters. But Europa is more that a stage on which these characters act out new dramas...
A book that is full of literary and historical references, but as you read it there are layers within layers within layers. Things have a way of turning out to be not what you expected. And its fun into the bargain.
Give it a go, but be prepared to pay attention - this is not a book for casual readers.
