1.0 out of 5 stars An awful mess 26 Nov 1999
By A Customer
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable 22 Jan 1999
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing Who 15 April 2011
By Michael Finn TOP 500 REVIEWER
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mission:Impractical 22 Nov 2007
By Rich
Format:Paperback
For some reason, I expected to loathe this, but surprise, surprise, I didn't. Fairly amusing with a fast-moving plot my only criticism would be that it seems to take a while to get going with the heist itself....and it would have been nice to have spent more time with Frobisher. I enjoyed this book....it was a light read and none the worse for that.

1.0 out of 5 stars needs pictures 21 July 2006
By Paul Tapner TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This book tries to replicate the style of the sixth doctor comic strips. But those were so great because they had amazingly good visuals. In print, you need great prose to conjure up the same images in the reader's mind.

This does not have great prose, and is not an easy read. As a result, it's a dreadful, cluttered, hardgoing mess of a book. And it's not worth your time
