Synopsis
The utopian culture known as the People have a problem: two of them have travelled back to Earth's past, to the ancient city of Babylon. A treaty makes time tourism illegal, and to avoid an intergalactic war, or the destruction of Babylon, Benny must go back in time to retrieve the errant People.

Perfection in Paperback form
Walking to Babylon is the latest in a series of excellent New Adventures penned by Who's only professional female writer. It's also the best. The plot is perfectly paced, without a trace of the padding that occasionally blights the NA series. Benny's character is spot on, and as usual with Kate's work, we learn a little bit more about our favourite archeologist's grimy past, more secifically her first horrific, character-forming solo expedition. The supporting cast are sublime, the psyche of the People as subtly intriguing as ever. Extra brownie points must be awarded for ...Lords of Time, who just happen to be in the process of declaring war on the People. And, and... oh, everything! Kate is undoubtedly the finest writer in either canon of contemporary 'Who writing, and this is probably her finest work to date. Thank you, Kate.
