Another jewel in crown of justin richard
Brillient. From begining to end i couldn't put it down. At the start it seems very simler to unatural histry, with things going wrong in time-space, just after the millienum. It is difficult to talk about the plot without reveling it, its that action packed. This is plot that would have suited the 8th docter and fitz.

The 'skitishness' of the 4th doctor is really focused on. It is done in such a good way too. He gives him an awful lot of humor, but keeps the seriousness too. Very keeping with the t.v programm of the time.

If you are a true Dr who fan, you will love this . BUY IT

more of the same
A sequel to the fourth doctor adventure system shock, from the previous publishers of these, this is a book that had to be written in a matter of weeks to fill a gap in the schedule.

Sometimes that can produce great results, as in the shadow in the glass and the banquo legacy.

But on this occasion, it fails. This is simply a retread of system shock, and the only real difference is the absence of sarah jane from this one.

System shock is well worth reading. This is just pretty forgettable.

Not bad but slightly boring
It starts off well with the mysterious destruction of a helicopter and a man being escorted up to the top floor of an office building for... surgery. But it is just a bit boring from there on in. The puctualtity of the Voracians also begins to get very annoying before long so when they are all destroyed at the novel's climax, it's hard not to be pleased. It always quite enjoyable when a new Voracian is unmasked and there are several other highlights too, but on the whole it's just not quite as good as the prequel. If Justin Richards is going to attempt a third Voracian outing then my advice to him would be to sit back and think very carefully about it. One point he should consider is wit. This novel is completely devoid of it. Something which makes reading this book harder than it should be.
