	Amazon.ca: Walking to Babylon: Books: Kate Orman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		I came to this book solely because it was written by Kate Orman, and I wanted to read her non-DW work to see what she was up to.
		Bernice, as always in Kate's stories a savvy, well-read archaelogist, hardly ever a hostage to campiness, is dispatched to 570 BCE to foil an alien incursion of dubious intentions.
		Kate Orman draws the readers into the struggles of archaeologist Bernice Summerfield, who finds herself on a race against time to remove two rogue travelers whose very presence endangers all of Earth's history.

	[No title]
		Kate Orman, though, is so in love with the character of the Doctor that I don't think she's capable of writing him this way; and so, the questioning of the Doctor's motives are unconvincing, and those sections of the book fall flat on their face.
		Kate Orman effortlessly breathes music into her story, the opening chapters in particular are genuinely accompanied by an entire orchestra (go on, listen, you can actually hear it...).
		Orman's Doctor isn't a kids' TV hero used 'ironically' (and that in itself doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as 'sneeringly'), but a magical creature, in the magical realist sense - not accountable to rationalism or naturalism, instead appealing to the same contradictory mix of intellect and emotional response as magical realism itself.

	Amazon.ca: Doctor Who: Blue Box: Books: Kate Orman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Kate Orman is one of the premiere Doctor Who writers today, along with Lance Parkin.
		Orman seems to have a blast with this, with Salmon talking about how one day people will be ordering pizza online, and how you can't have the general public on the Net or it will go completely down the tubes.
		Orman tries to put some action into it, and there is the usual exciting climax, but much of the book consists of somebody typing away at somebody else.

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): Sleepy
		Kate's first book, "The Left-Handed Hummingbird", was a shocking psychological drama while her second, "Set Piece", was an enthralling exploration of the (then) three main characters -- the Doctor, Ace and Benny.
		Once again, Kate proves that her expertise lies in her handling of the characters -- not just the main characters, but the supporting cast as well.
		Kate also does a great job of portraying the Artificial Intelligences (like CONNECTICUT and WATCH OUT!), who are great fun, especially as they begin to revel in their newfound freedom.

	Amazon.com: Sleepy (The New Doctor Who Series): Books: Kate Orman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		It seems to be the most straightforward of Kate Orman's first three NAs, and is much more focused on plot and story than on the intricate character explorations that were the highlights of those other two novels.
		Orman's writing is nicely straightforward, keeping the story moving along at a reasonable clip without too much in the way of padding; there are also some nice viewpoint shifts.
		Orman does a nice job of capturing the McCoy version of the Doctor, down to the off-center questions and the furious determination when he's trying to stop something terrible from happening.

	Set Piece
		Orman presents us with an Ace who's lived through the future, fought Daleks, traveled alongside the Doctor, and then is stranded in the distant past with no hope of rescue.
		That might be why in the third part of the book, things decline a bit, when Orman has to get on with actually bringing that background to the foreground and resolving the plotlines.
		It's nice to see that the focus on Ace doesn't disappear entirely with the resolution of the novel (a problem that Orman would have in her novel Seeing I).

		Orman's first addition to the series, The Left-Handed Hummingbird, is a wonderful adventure through Earth's past and (at the time of writing) near future.
		Orman's use of historical imagery contributed greatly to my enjoyment of this story, and it is an interesting addition to the NA's.

	Amazon.de: Unnatural History (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)): English Books: Jon Blum,Jonathan Blum,Kate Orman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman do their usual trick of trying to be too clever and adding stuff to the "mythos" rather than concentrating on what matters--original plot and character.
		For these reasons, I got the feeling that Kate and Jon were writing to a particular person, and it wasn't me. I'm hoping their next effort will be back on par with the quality I'm used to from them.
		Orman and Blum are the most genuine and creative literary minds of our age.

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): The Room With No Doors
		Kate has yet to deliver a clunker -- even her poorest work, "Sleepy", is head and shoulders above many other New Adventures -- and so it seems fitting that the she should get one more kick at the can (and the Doctor) before the Seventh Doctor's tenure concludes next month in "Lungbarrow".
		Kate's strengths as always are in her deft handling of the main cast -- in particular, she somehow manages to resolve the inconsistencies in Chris' portrayal between "Bad Therapy" and "Eternity Weeps" and make him all the better for it.
		Kate has him exhibit a frailty and vulnerability indicative of the nearness of his regeneration, and yet this development does not feel forced -- the Doctor is still his usual indomitable self but, well, he's getting old, and in "Room" we become all too aware of this.

	The Year of Intelligent Tigers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Kate Orman has sat down and tried to write an actual Doctor Who story, and not just a character study that happens to bear a passing resemblance to a storyline.
		However, as tends to happen with an Orman novel, the plot is not up to the level of the characters.
		And Kate Orman's writing style is as good as ever, very descriptive and evocative.

	[No title]
		From the beginning, all of Orman and Blum's novels have been about the central mystery at the heart of the Doctor -- the enigma at the heart of the character that we are torn between wanting to see and wanting to keep private.
		Orman and Blum look into his heart, and imagine what it must be like to live so dangerous a life...
		The actual stories that go into Orman and Blum's novels prove to be almost secondary to the emotions of their characters...

	Doctor Who — Interview: Kate Orman
		We last talked to Kate Orman back in Sonic Screwdriver #80 – since then, The Left-Handed Hummingbird has come out, she’s taken over running the Doctor Who Fan Club of Australia, and written her second New Adventure, Set Piece.
		Kate has done book signings as any other writer might at bookstores in Sydney, and when people know you’ve got a book in the works, you’d expect extra comment from those around her.
		Kate’s first NA really stood out because of the research that had obviously been done on the historical backgrounds.

	The TARDIS Library: Reviews for Blue Box
		I've been trying to put my finger on what it is that makes Kate Orman's novels so bloody good.
		What separates Kate Orman is that her books have a real clarity to them, they're beautifully structured.
		I really don't think Kate Orman is capable of producing a novel that is anything less than engaging.

	TV Zone #139 Merchandise Reviews - Doctor Who, Kate Orman, Intelligent Tigers, LEXX
		Orman is rightly famous for putting the series’ hero through the wringer more than once within 90,000 words;
		Beside a slight dip in pace at the end of the first third of the book, Orman keeps the pace rattling along, and the reader guessing what will happen and why the tigers are intelligent.
		The narrative, as is usual for Orman, opens with the Doctor and his team already established within this strange world that, cliché that it is, comes alive on the page.

		Kate Orman does a wonderful job of helping the reader visualize Colin Baker's sixth incarnation of the good Doctor.
		He was definitely a brash character, and Orman has this nailed.
		The story rolls along at a brisk pace and while others have complained that the constant hacking and running gets a little dull, I found that Orman did a nice job of pacing these two aspects of the story very well.
