Sci-Fi Month 2025 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Peacemaker (Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #21) by James Swallow

 

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Anne's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my SciFi Month 2025 books, Peacemaker (Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #21) by James Swallow.  By the way, SciFi Month is a month long celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, Imyril @ There's Always Room For One More, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Mayri @ Book Forager (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin).  The Tenth Doctor is my favorite and I love Martha.  It will be fun to see a Western element in this one.

Beginning:

The sun was riding over the top of the distant mountains made them some like polished copper, and Matthew Belfield held up a hand to shield his eyes from the glow.

56:

"Let's take a look-see." The lawman bent forward and plucked a thin wallet out of the Doctor's coat. "What have we here?" He flipped it opened and his expression darkened.

"What does it say?" demanded Teague.

The sheriff tossed the wallet back to the Doctor with a scowl.  "It says he's a Pinkerton Agent, that's what." A private investigator."
