It's quite contrived, and its politics are a little sketchy. Gets too far into professional fanfic territory at times (in a bad way).

One of the supporting characters is a 13 year old sex worker, who is a priestess in the Temple of Ishtar in Kish (it takes place in ancient Mesopotamia)isayhourwrong's review

http://nhw.livejournal.com/666835.html[return][return]The first ever of the New Adventures of Doctor Who published by Virgin between 1991 and 1997. Actually rather good stuff as the Seventh Doctor and Ace find themselves in ancient Babylon battling an alien force, mixing it up with Gilgamesh. If I'd picked this up back in 1991 I would certainly have ended up buying many more. Biggest flaw - the silly title. Why the "y" in "Genesys"?

This is a story that probably couldn't have been done on television, if only for reasons of budget and content. The story is interesting and well written.

I was really debating between 2 and 3 for this one. It's not exactly a bad book, it's just... kinda dull and predictable. I still got some enjoyment out of reading it, though I can't say that I'll remember much a bout it in a month's time. Excessive continuity references pushed it into a 2-star for me. The tipping point was the moment in the climax where Seven pointlessly turned into Three to execute a particularly tedious bit of technobabble and throw out some references to the UNIT era. Completely unnecessary.
