Снова отличная книга в New Adventures, что вообще происходит. В противоположном от Damaged Goods смысле, более хай-концепт: древнее оружие тайм-лордов, ломающее таймлайны, и война за судьбу космической империи. Но еще и по-настоящему тяжелая, эмоциональная смерть. Идеальная пара авторов для такого задания.
Плюс, неожиданное камео Восьмого Доктора.

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2327116.html[return][return]So, poor old Roz, eh? Having done due service to the Seventh Doctor for 18 books, she dies in battle defending her high-powered family, one of whom is an even closer relative than she first seems, against a peculiar shape-shifting alien threat. I'm afraid the plot rambled a bit too much for me, but I did like the lifting of the veil to Roz's background - rather as we were told about Turlough back in 1984, only done better this time. Not one of the great New Adventures unfortunately, but an important building block of the (soon to be completed) series.

This is a book that seems to be a bit to clever for its own good. The quiet character moments are excellent, in particular the Forrester domestic scenes. However, the actual main story with the brotherhood and psy-arc do not really work and are solved by a largely ridiculous contrivance.
