I thought this was a good tale, with some very interesting twists and plot developments. I have not had the pleasure of watching any of McCoy's portrayal of the Doctor or his companion Ace. But I feel that after reading this book I have a good understanding of them both.

I love it when the Doctor goes back into Earth history. It’s like having a very interesting and enjoyable history lesson. Even if it’s not all fact. I love how the start of the story is like a diary entry by the Private Eye Colby McBridge and it’s the same for the end. It’s nice to find out what happens to McBridge and Mullen. A great plot twist also which what they discover under the pumping station.

The epilogue suggests the possibility of a sequel. It is easy to see why this story was included in the monster specials to celebrate the 50th anniversary.

I really enjoyed Perry and Tucker's novels featuring the Seventh Doctor. This Telos novella, unfortunately but not atypically for that publisher, is way below par. The Doctor and new companion Catherine Broome land on a planet where a rather stereotypical Catholic church has declared all Time Lords to be witches. Various tediously predictable things happen, until the point where the plot ends on a twist shared with Death Comes To Time which independently came out the same year. Rather skippable, and that's the first time I've said that about these authors.… (mere)

This is the culmination of the arc of Seventh Doctor novels by Mike Tucker and Robert Perry, the previous stories being Illegal Alien, Matrix, Storm Harvest and Prime Time. I really enjoyed this, as I really enjoyed them all, and I've realised that this sequence is one of the unsung successes of Who spinoff literature.

The story is suitably complex; the Doctor investigating Ace's murder, even though she is still alive; confused astronauts arriving from another timeline; cyber-technology and giant ants infesting London. There is sensawunda and emotional intensity. There is homage to Quatermass (and perhaps one or two Tuckerisms). I think I couldn't recommend this to readers, even Who fans, who had not read the previous four in this mini-series, but I would warmly recommend reading the whole lot.

A Seventh Doctor novel published in 1997, featuring Ace and Cybermen in wartime 1940s London; grittily imagined, with good characterisation; one of the better Past Doctor Adventures that I have read. It shares certain resonances with The Doctor Dances / The Empty Child, but is really very true to the spirit of McCoy era Who, to the point that I wondered if it could have been a script in its own right.

As indeed, apparently, it was - submitted for the 1990 season that was never made.
