Cat's Cradle: Warhead is a novel from The New Adventures featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace.
Warhead is the first novel in the Cat's Cradle trilogy.
Written by Andrew Cartmel, with this his NA debut and I eventually discovered that it is the first in a trilogy from Cartmel, the others being Warlock & Warchild and hence why they call the War trilogy.
Warhead presents the premise of the Earth being on an environmental collapse and a Butler Institute, having no way to restore the environment back to what it once was, has a very clever solution of putting the minds of the superrich into computers which therefore their need for food and water.
Not that is in anyway ideal to escape an environmental collapse, this does not however benefit who can't afford such a treatment.
Cartmel was script editor on the classic series of Doctor Who including when it ended in 1989.
He therefore script edited Survival the last of the classic run and Cartmel brings back a character from Survival into Warhead that of Ace's friend Shreela.
Unfortunately Cartmel kills off Shreela here as she succumbed to a serious illness.
An intriguing comes in Turkey when the Doctor sent Ace to retrieve a certain metal drum.
However not too thrill on when it is revealed what it is in this drum.
I thought the story was very dark when Justine and Victor gets brought into this story.
A very dark story and I doubt the exact tone this story presented would have been acceptable had this made for TV.
