http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2016376.html[return][return][return]Apparently this has some continuity with The Dimension Riders by the same author, but I'm afraid I had forgotten the key details. I did enjoy the Doctor and Bernice skipping between time zones (1997 and 2387, and the far future), actually rather reminiscent of the previous novel in this series, Set Piece but perhaps slightly better executed, the 1997 scenes being particularly vivid. However the telepathic gestalt alien is not terribly exciting by Who standards.

- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

More than any other book in the VNAs I find this one the most forgettable. Whilst there are some nice moments with the main cast (which stop it from being a one star) but the plot is dull, the villain just psychotic, filled up with continuity (a lot of which is wrong) and with paper thin characters. A real step backwards to the earliest days of the book series at a time when they have evolved into something rather special.
