An adventure featuring the Seventh Doctor, as played by Sylvester McCoy, and his companion Ace

Ratings and reviews

This book was great if you are a fan of Sylvester McCoy. However portions of this were too graphic and violent distracting from the reading it like a Dr Who episode, Torchwood setting would have been better suited. This book went too much into secondary characters, than was needed to move the story along. The deaths while common in the Who universe didn't need such gory details.

I had not heard the audio, but had read the physical copy of this book. I also had not seen any of the 7th Doctor episodes, but this book was a fun read. The modern (Or at least at the time) 2005 Cybermen had somehow traveled back in time during the 7th Doctor's incarnation. All in all, this book was a very entertaining read.

The book starts out great, has a boring middle, and a fantastic conclusion. And do not trust the people saying it is dark, it is not. At least not by past doctor adventures standards.
