This is my favourite of the televised Sixth Doctor stories, but Martin doesn't quite do it justice on the page. In particular, the questionable reliability of the narrative in its own terms was made to work well on screen, but comes over as a bit of a cheat on paper. Also the "happy ending" for Peri is even more of a copout here than it was on screen (though at least Yrcanos shows some more romantic interest in her in the book). ( )
