Product Description
With time running out, the Doctor finally understands why 'our' universe is unique. In proving it, he nearly destroys the TARDIS and all aboard - and becomes involved with the machinations of the mysterious Timeless organisation. They can fix your wildest dreams, get away with murder and bring a whole new meaning to the idea of victimless crime. Soon, Fitz and Trix are married, Anji's become a mum, and an innocent man is marked for the most important death in the universe's long history. The reasons why force the Doctor into a deadly showdown in a killing ground spawned before time and space began.

BBC Books 8th Doctor books have been mired recently in a muddled series of alternate universe stories, with a nebulous threat attempting to take over history hanging in the background for the last couple of years. The feeling of going nowhere seems to be lifting, as we finally get some answers to a number of unresolved plot-threads in Timeless (what Sabbaths plans are, who his employers are, the Doctors destruction of Gallifrey, resolving the paradox that led to the alternate universes co-exisitng, Anji's attempts to get home), and while not everything is resolved the series at least looks to be moving forward again instead of wandering in circles. Coupled with a decent tale of people jumping from alternate Earths's to the 'real' Earth, this is Stephen Cole's best book to date.

I couldn't get into this at all and I couldn't even begin to tell you why. It had all the ingredients for a brilliant EDA yet seemed so dull. The story, whilst intriguing and full of interesting elements just didn't go anywhere. While the Doctor was, for a change, very well written - I could really hear Paul McGann's voice saying Steven Cole's words (which is sometimes a struggle), Anji and Fitz were weak, I thought, and Trix was just annoying. I couldn't engage with it at all and struggled terribly to finish it.

Sense and reason have been missing from many of the recent Eighth Doctor novels. This is a big step in the right direction. Okay, the way Our Heroes return to "our" universe doesn't actually make sense, but that's the only plot-hole in a well-plotted book that tells an intriguing story, moves the sub-plots forward and provides some nice character pieces, especially for the Doctor and Fitz. Okay, it doesn't explain where Trix came from (have I missed a book somewhere along the line?), but that's forgivable and this is an adequate introduction to the new companion. Certainly a book worth reading.
