Pakha, Io, Peladon Synopsis "So, that's an Ice Warrior. Brings a whole new meaning to the concept of shell suits." The Doctor is pursuing a master criminal. The trail leads to Peladon: a desolate world once home to a barbaric, feudal society. Now the Galactic Federation is attempting to bring prosperity and civilisation to the planet. But not all Peladonians support the changes, and when ancient relics are stolen from their Citadel, the representatives of the Federation are blamed. The Doctor suspects the Ice Warrior delegation, but before long the Time Lord himself is arrested for the crime — and sentenced to death. Elsewhere, interplanetary mercenaries are bringing one of the galaxy's most evil artefacts to Peladon, apparently on the Doctor's instruction. Ace is pursuing a dangerous mission on another world and Bernice is getting friendly — perhaps too friendly — with the Ice Warriors she has studied for so long. The players are making the final moves in a devious and lethal plan — but for once it isn't the Doctor's.

Legacy is a fun whodunnit by Gary Russell who goes all out with his continuity references, this story made me really like the ice warriors, they are so cool here, lord savar and sskeet are really nice additions to the cast and I’m interested to see how Benny changes as a person as she goes to live with them for the next 3 months… the book is a love letter to Brian Hayles Peladon duology and it’s really beautiful in the way it does that, the exploration of Peladons deep history, a few little cameos from Mr Braxiatel….. this story is just a blast to read from beginning to end. While this book does pretty clearly show Russell didn’t really know what to do with ace as she gets pretty significantly sidelined for a solid 5/6ths of the book I still think her sections are fun if not funny… can’t wait for next book to formally introduce Irving!
