5.0 out of 5 stars Actually very good., 3 Nov 2009
By Ben Richards "Ben" (Ackersby, OH) - See all my reviews
I have to say that I found this book riveting, and the much complained about bleakness only added to my interest. Overall, a compelling read, and in my opinion, one of the better written entries in the 8th Doctor series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as people say, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
Although this book has recieved a fair amount of criticism, I dont think that there is anything wrong with it. In fact I think it is downright brilliant. Some readers have commented that it is a very depressing novel. I have to agree with them. yes, it is a very depressing novel, nothing nice happens and quite a lot of people end up dying in very horrible ways. But not all DW books have to be happy in nature. I think the early part of the novel is very creepy especially the part where the Kusks are hunting the doctor and one of the technicians through the base. The technician meets with a very grisly end when the Kusks catch up with him. In fact, most people in this novel meet with a very grisly end when the Kusks catch up with them. But it's that depressing and sad nature witch i think makes this book stand out from the rest. However, one problem is the ending. Mr Collier seems to think that copious amounts of technobabble at the climax is a suitable way to tie up all the strands of the plot. It isn't. But i still enjoyed this. Dont get this book if you're faint hearted as the violence in some places is quite extreme. But if you are a die hard DW fan like me, then get it now. On the whole, very enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reservoir Kursks, 16 Dec 2002
By Mr. Derek Pike "Pikeymon" (Southampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is quite different to the other early 8th Doctor books in that it really is quite unpleasant. This is probably the first book that kisses goodbye to the family Doctor and introduces a much darker mood to the series.
I found it extremely difficult to get into at first, probably due to the mass of very similar characters, who we hardly get to know as they are bumped off at a fairly regular pace. The Doctor himself takes on a true hero mantle and is the subject of much swooning from the simpering Anstaar and much longing from Sam who is growing up more as the books progress.
It is admittedly a difficult read but the saving grace has to be the Kursks, classic Who monsters with a bit of Hellraiser thrown in. They are repulsive and scary in equal measure and the first description of one of their victims is "American Psycho" material and certainly not for the faint hearted.
I do hope the Kursks return in a less convoluted story, and I hope the doctor fixes his VW Beetle, this is a great little detail reminiscent of John Pertwee's "Bessie".
