...Although, I agree that there are points wee the reader will sit and laugh at this book, due to the sheer stupidity of it's main characters, I still found the story very enjoyable. Considering the state of other Who books, this storyline certainly stands above many others I have read. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Many of the early BBC Doctor Who novels were rather dire and dull. This is, sadly, no exception. It starts off aching with promise, and then just yawns to a conclusion. It's just not probable - why, if you were an evil mastermind intent on world domination, would you invite the Doctor to stay in your country house just because he popped up in the grounds? If you simply had to have him around, couldn't you at least put him up in a B&B nearby so that you can get on with your sinister midnight scheming? It's just one of those books where you end up dutifully suspending your disbelief so much you stop believing in the book entirely. And then you wonder why you're bothering.

It started off so promisingly and then gradually fell apart. I was really looking forward to reading this, but in the end, the only reason I wanted to finish this book was because of the monotony. The alien aspect of the plot might as well has been non-existent. The only reason it's there is to provide the characters with some motivation. We see the aliens at the beginning and then again in the middle(and even then only as dessicated corpses). The plot was interesting but it would have been more absorbing if we'd seen a little bit more of the aliens. There is however, lots of action but I'm afraid that doesn't compensate for this novels bad points. However this novel does seem slightly better when viewed retrospectively.
