Customer Reviews

A magnificent Doctor Who book

The Doctor somewhat embarrassedly steers the TARDIS to London in the 1930s to return some overdue library books, but once there Romana finds traces of time technology in use. A small group of elderly people from the future have established themselves in the 1930s for unknown reasons, and they aren't the only people with access to the time corridor. And then there's a mysterious vapour which is killing people, and worse...Gareth Robert's follow up to his wonderful 'The Romance of Crime' is another great book. He has captured the characters of the Doctor and Romana from the seventeenth season wonderfully, and set them in great stories which put that period of Doctor Who (with the exception of 'City of Death') to shame.If you are a Doctor Who fan and you haven't read this, do so.
