1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless & Dull, 16 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Superior Beings is a very poor entry into this series of past doctor boks. the characters are poorly drawn and the whole thing feels pointless. races are introduced in great detail only to be pushed out of the story and serve no real purpose. the doctor doesn't feel like the fifth doctor atall and just about the only redeeming feature is how well peri is charaterised which is strong and also reflects her American nationalty which is something few books have failed to do. A shame given how enjoyable Walter's Dry Pilgramage and Dominion were.

one book to avoid like the plague, i'm afraid!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real threat at last!, 12 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Walters captures the fifth doctor effortlessly - try to imagine any other incarnation speaking and behaving in the way Walters describes the Doctor. And the Valethke are a wonderful creation - they are relentlessly evil and ruthless in their purpose....imagine how it would feel to see the Daleks or Cybermen treated as real threats, rather than the comedy villians they became. It was a joy to see the Doctor come up against a foe that seemed genuinely threatening for a change, where you had no idea how - or if - he could survive.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Poor Entry Into the Who Cannon, 2 Jul 2001
By P. Rees "Paul Rees" (Whitstable, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book to be incredibly generic and tedious. The plot contains many elements which are covered previously in "Last Man Running", and it fails to establish any momentum at all.

If you want to read a fifth Doctor novel, I'd go for "Deep Blue" instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and drawn out
I couldn't agree less with the previous reviewer. I found this book a drag to read. The often-repeated scenes of violence actually start to desensitise your reactions. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended reading
This one is definitely recommended reading. Nick Walters captures the Fifth Doctor very well, along with the sometime unease of his new companion. Read more
