Doctor Who Extended Media Review – The Decades Collection 1980s The Self-Made Man by Mark Griffiths

The Self-Made Man was the third novel published in the 60th anniversary Decades Collection. The novel featured The Fourth Doctor and Romana and was written by Mark Griffiths.

The Doctor and Romana find themselves in a 1980s council estate where a group of children are involved with a boy genius who has access to technology well beyond the time period. The story turns into a Pseudo-Cyberman story when the main antagonist Matthew is replacing his body parts with mechanical parts. The story proceeds apace and is an easy read. 7 out of 10.
