This was one of the best Who books I've read (and I've read lots). I didn't expect to like one so much that didn't have one of the regular companions, but I loved the two tagalongs from this one so much I'd like to read more of their stories after the Doctor left.

A disappointing adventure for the 10th doctor - 3*
The only reason I gave this story 3* was because of the bitter-sweet ending, otherwise, it would have been a measly 2*. Why? Because the plot was SO predictable, the characters were plain (apart from the Judoon) and the setting was predictable too.

I got so distracted while moving and I found all my old doctor who books. Honestly the nostalgia of this is just making me score so high for this one.

Loved the Judoon, but I'm not one for spy stories, con action and stuff. So I didn't enjoy that as much as other DW stories.

Another Ten-on-his-own Who novel, this time featuring a feud between crime lords on a spaceport, a petty thief recognisable by his skin colour, a seventeen-year-old girl detective (whose name is Nikki rather than Mary Sue), and on the plus side a Judoon commander who is actually allowed to develop a character. Rather minor stuff, frankly.

Suprising character depth make this one of the best Doctor Who stories I've read.
