| | doctor who: the cabinet of light - book review for zone-sf.com |
 | | In The Cabinet Of Light, as in the first TV episode, rather than being the scientist/detective who investigates evil doings, the Doctor is the subject of the investigation. |
 | | The Cabinet Of Light returns to the East London of that novella, albeit the immediate post-war East End of 1949 not of 1963, where a fl market 'fixer', called Honore Lechasseur is hired by a woman calling herself Emily Blandish to track down her husband, the Doctor. |
 | | However, far from being the monstrous throwback at the heart of darkness, the Doctor is seen as the bringer of light and fire, whose power is both destructive and enlightening, an angel to some, a devil to others. |
