Customer Reviews

Unusual but highly recommended
I remember reading this when it first came out, leaning against the school gates with my mind light years away from grey old January. It was an exciting time for the NA's - now sufficiently distanced from their `source' programme and divorced enough from its shortcomings to explore all kinds of new worlds with a wonderfully Who-ish style. This is a typically Lawrence Miles novel in the best sense: punchy dialogue and unfamiliar settings, with huge ideas juggled playfully and seemingly effortlessly. It also has that Miles quality of operating critically within its host-universe. Gratuitous, overblown, veering towards pretentiousness - perhaps, but with all the zing of genius that those things often presage. A beauty.

Dire
I am being completely impartial and objective but this is absolute tripe. It rates down there with the bottom three in the New Adventures series. The plot is incoherent, the narrative flaccid; it's yet another rehash and more proof (were it needed) that the series ran out of steam well before its fiftieth publication.
