Format:Paperback
Far too much happens in this book, and very little of it is any good. Muddled characterisation, over-complex plotting, and general ineptness ruin a reasonably good idea. Only David McIntee could have Frobisher the shape-changing penguin return and immediately make him as boring as every other character in this soggy, silly mess.

Format:Paperback
Once again David McIntee delivers an enjoyable read. This would have made a good addition to the comic strip series in the Dr Who magazine (its great to have a book featuring the 6th Doctor's shape changing penguin companion - Frobisher). The addition of Glitz and Dibber make for a wonderful team. Its good fun, but some of the story threads remain as mere threads, begging to be woven into a fuller story. Other parts of the book hurry along, but overall this is a nice book to read and if this is McIntee at his worst I have no complaints.
Format:Paperback
Glitz and Dibber swagger straight off the set of Mysterious Planet and onto the pages of Mr McIntee's tale of galactic double-dealings and dashing derring-do. Along for the ride is Doctor Who Magazine's shapeshifter Frobisher, a gang of retired thieves, the most dangerous bounty hunters in the cosmos and a troop of always-good-for-a-chortle Ogron pirates. Colourful, brash and effortlessly amusing.

This book tries to replicate the style of the sixth doctor comic strips. But those were so great because they had amazingly good visuals. Read more
