The BBC website has put up the book form of the famous Sci-Fi Dr.Who series up on its website for free.
The basic storyline is like this :
The Universe has a Planet of TimeLords who monitor Time and try to
preserve a balance between the forces which can destroy it.
They have a time machine called the TARDIS which from outside is the
size of a phone booth but from inside it's so huge you can get lost in
it.
Anyway mostly the TimeLords never like to get their hands dirty too
much, except this rebel who introduces himself only as "The Doctor".
Invariably people ask him "Dr. Who?" which he never answers.....
He mostly comes to Earth but is always jumping around Time and Space
from one planet to another, one time to another. He picks up fellow
travellers on his travels. Some are hitchhikers, some escaping from
some danger, some who are life-time companions for each of the Doctor's
lives. The best books though are the ones with 'The Master' Doctor Who's
arch-enemy.
The Doctor doesn't believe in violence and walks in and out of situations
quite nonchalantly. The best dialogues are where he usually goes into lateral
thinking mode and finds solutions which have been missed by the people around him.

I've read many of the books and really love many of them.
