Demian's Thoughts: |
This adventure is the culmination of the five-book series that began with Blood Heat. At last we get to learn who has been manipulating time for the past few adventures; too bad we largely don't care due to the mediocrity of the first half of the lead-up. Fortunately, this book delivers a strong pay-off that almost makes up for the poor setup. We get a genuine UNIT adventure, multiple geek-pleasing continuity references, decent incidental characters, and a good showing by the main cast. Only in Paul Cornell's hands does the characterization of Ace make anything approaching sense at this point in the series! Definitely worth a look, even if you can't bring yourself to read all of the books leading up to it. |
