Read-along for Sunday, July 11th
Hey folks, it's that time again! (Actually, significantly past that time. Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth for a little while there. Can I blame TARDIS malfunction?)
For anyone that's new to the discussion, here's how it goes: We've been making our way through the EDAs (Eighth Doctor Adventure novels) that feature Fitz. I post up a PDF file of the next book in the line and two weeks later we have a discussion both here at the community and in an irc chatroom. Anyone and everyone is free to join in the conversation. It's great fun and we all discover more about our favorite characters. If you feel like catching up, take a look at the EDA read-along tag for the download links (or start with this one).
Our next book was totally worth the wait! It's Parallel 59 by Natalie Dallaire and Stephen Cole! This one is great for Fitz fans because nearly half of the book is narrated by him. Also, evidence is mounting about something genuinely weird happening with Compassion. HM. Sounds fascinating, doesn't it? If you're so inclined you can find more information, along with a complete synopsis and continuity notes, at the Doctor Who Reference Guide. If you'd just like to get to the book already, here it is:

Fleeing a doomed space station in tiny life capsules, the Doctor and Compassion find themselves prisoners of Parallel 59, a militaristic power on the planet Skale. Meanwhile Fitz finds himself apparently safe in Mechta, a colony for convalescents.
A space race is in full swing on Skale, with each of the planet’s many blocs desperate to be first to reach the stars. If the Doctor’s knowledge helps Parallel 59 to succeed, the consequences for the rest of the world could be devastating.
But Fitz knows nothing of his friends’ predicament. Enjoying his new life, he’s not even sure he wants to be rescued -- which is a good thing.
Because the Doctor has no intention of going to Mechta. He’s decreed that Fitz’s new-found utopia must be totally destroyed.
