5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining-a sure ratings winner! 10 July 2001

By finna

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

A great story, brought to us by Mike Tucker who (usually with Robert Perry) always writes good stuff for the seventh doctor and Ace, and this certainly doesn't disappoint. A not terribly original idea (using TV broadcasts to control and destroy) is given a great reworking, with some masterly and sinister elements; bloodthirsty jackals and a race of creatures who literally model flesh in the most horrific way...Has a little of everything, comedy, horror, suspense and an interesting and lively storyline. Good to see the master from a new angle too. One of my favourites so far!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good first solo attempt, but lacking in parts 9 Sep 2000

By A Customer

Format:Mass Market Paperback

An excellent first solo attempt, mike tucker proves once again that he has the charecters of the 7th doctor aand ace down to a tee. The only real dissapointment was the master, although mike has put him in a different postion to normal, which i felt was good (nice to see on the reciveveing end) The master seemed almost lethargic and no visable cunning plot under his sleeve. I would have liked to see him a bit more devious. If anything i felt the copied master was better than the first, maybe intended i don't know.

Ace's chaercter seemed to be lacking something. I can't quite put my finger on it, but she, like the master, is a much more 'relaxed' version, gon is the fiery ace we saw defend a human colony against the krill.

the only other gripe i have is the lack of moral issues going on in the doctor we saw in the matrix i felt more should have been made of completey destroying a speices (the fleshsmiths) By the end of this body he should have become a deft hand at genocide.

Apart from that i felt it was well thought out and fast moveing, it was just a shame it was short compared to the others.

It is testement to Mikes talent that a plot, that could have been 2d and tacky in another writers hands, was readable, enjoyable, and kept you guessing to the very end.

If you liked illegal alein, matrix, and storm haverst then buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great solo debut 16 Aug 2000

By A Customer

Format:Mass Market Paperback

A thoroughly enjoyable read. Mike Tucker shows he knows the Sylvester McCoy portrayal of the Doctor very well - unlike many other past Doctors BBC novels, I could easily see McCoy churning out the lines. His monologue to Lukos towards the end was a tour de force.

How wonderful it would have been to see this on the telly. The Fleshmiths and their horrific world would have been interesting to say the least...

Highly entertaining stuff.

Unlike most Mike Tucker books I can't really recommend this one. It's a very lightweight read that's more of a train journey time filler than a comfy armchair treat. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read - disappointing though

I read this book twice, just to see if I missed something the first time around. Sadly not, although I will say that the book presents a nice balance of action and thought. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars It was a good attempt, but ultimately came up wanting.

It was often said that towards the end of the TV series that Dr Who became too self aware and the same charge could be levelled at this novel. Read more
