How can it be that the guy who wrote Erasure and Gallifrey: Annihilation and masterminded Gallifrey and also did some other great work for Big Finish can be so capable of writing such horrible books?

If I had to give this book a compliment, it would be that it is just boring - which, if you have read any other 90s DW books you will know is pretty good going among some of the more dire, misogynistic, violent, and boring stories. But that is where the compliments end. This book is like 280 pages of pointless side characters meandering pointlessly around, 10 pages of the actual Wirrn and defeating the queen, then another 10 back on the pointless side characters.

Safe to say, I will not be reading this one again. Onwards.
