Title: A bit of a mess
Product review: The Virgin Doctor Who novels allowed the writers to do something that couldn't be done on TV--they could bring back old companions. This is mixed blessing; on the one hand, it's great to see Ace, on the other, Ace is now a jerk! I know she was upset at the Doctor at the end of her last appearance, but that doesn't make it any more appealing.The other problem with this novel is it's vagueness. The Doctor et al land on your typical generic planet, with typical generic people. Nothing about the setting is terribly interesting. While it does turn out there's something significant about this, it doesn't really make this a very gripping read. The reuse of the maze scene from "Horns of Nimon" is a bad idea.
