I feel like a story about Benny and the Doctor taking Ace out for her birthday should be really fabulous, but in this instance it was a real drag.

A decent enough Seventh Doctor, Ace and Benny story, with human colonists wandering into an existing struggle between two alien entities. I didn't think Bulis quite got Benny in this one but he has an excellent Ace and good Doctor. A really good ending which would have made great TV especially for New Who, as the Bad Alien Entity is put out of action by a bright idea of the Doctor's. Would be an OK book for Who fans who don't know the New Adventures, less useful for non-Who fans wanting to experiment.

The only thing I knew about this book was Robert Smith? saying it "may indeed be the worst book ever written in the entire history of literature". I am happy to report I do not think that is justified but, at the same time, there isn't much to particularly recommend this book. It is popcorn Doctor Who, fun setup, spaceships, alien bodysnatchers. It is fine in a very trad sense but not something anyone will remember.
