' ''Human Nature'' is an original novel written by Paul Cornell, from a plot by Cornell and Kate Orman, and based on the long-running British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. The work began as fan fiction.〔(Doctor Who During the Wilderness Years )〕 The novel was later serialised in e-book form on the BBC ''Doctor Who'' website, but was removed from the site in 2010. A prelude to the novel, also penned by Cornell, appeared in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' #226, and was also available on the BBC website. It was later adapted for TV. ==Plot== Bernice Summerfield is grieving since the death of Guy de Carnac (as seen in the previous novel, ''Sanctuary''). The Doctor takes her to a market on a planet called Crex in the Augon system. He quickly sets off, telling her he'll be back in an hour, and Benny finds a pub where she orders a beer and finds a group of female human drinking partners. After Benny's had several drinks with them, the Doctor arrives and places a patch on her cheek — a pad that disperses the alcohol in her system. He tells her that they need to leave immediately, and leads her back to the TARDIS. He hands her a scroll, tells her he'll see her in three months, and collapses. Meanwhile, the genesmith Laylock meets with his associates. They plan to follow the Doctor. In a long, dark room, a teenager named Tim awakens from a dream, having had a premonition that everyone will die. Unable to understand Benny's grief on a human level, the Doctor has purchased a device which alters his biodata, transforming him into a human named Dr John Smith. Smith lives as a history teacher at a public school in 1914 England, and falls in love with a fellow teacher named Joan. However, when alien Aubertides, hoping to acquire Time Lord abilities, attack the school, Smith sacrifices himself and becomes the Doctor once more; as the Time Lord, he is unable to love Joan in the way the human John Smith did. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Human Nature (novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
