Absolutely fantastic5
This novel is an utter joy to behold from start to finish. It held my interest so furiously that every time I picked this book up to read it, it really was a struggle to put it down again. It is realistic, captivating, extremely well written and suitably sombre for the time that it is set in. The scene in which the cybermats attack the American bar is just one of the many highlights of this superb story. A must have for DW fans.

you will be unable to put this bok down5
Normally, with Doctor Who novels that reuse old monsters/friends, they are so filled with continuity, that they are quite difficult to follow. This is not the case with this book. It flows well from begining to end and the referances to other stories seem to fit so naturally that you don't even notice they're there. The Cybermen are ruthless and underestimated, Ace is spot on and the Doctor always seems to know what is going on. Everything a Doctor Who book should be.

Great use of war-torn history to hide alien arrival5
I found this adventure incredible. I loved all the characterizations. Ace going off and developing relationships with numerous characters, which allows her to more fully understand and appreciate her bond with the Doctor. Usage of the historical London bombings during the Second World War only heightens the tensions. No one is ever completely safe for more than a moment. A page turner, and one where a great American character (a 40's private eye), a sinister, but grandfatherly eccentric, and the Nazi threat are all employed in a believable fashion. Bravo!
