Publisher Description

The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive?

The Doctor is skittish. But if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves.

"This is what happens when you mess with the time line....actually not a half bad 'time intereference plot' book, though the jumping back and forth is jarring, and has a bittersweet ending to say the least. But still a good read. "

    " Very clever premise, with lots of engaging characters. Freema does a great job with everyone and it's a treat to listen to her tell the story. I'm definitely going to look for Simon Guerrier's other work. "

    " This book was okay. It started with an interesting plot that had a hard time getting anywhere. I read a lot of British books, but this one just didn't flow very well with the over-use of local slang. I also didn't think the author got the Doctor's voice down very well. All in all, it seemed long and I struggled to finish it. "

    " Completely different to Mr. Guerrier's previous, timey-wimey 1st Doctor novel. Frankly, it's (delightfully) mad as a sack of badgers. Ironic, given that...oh, just READ IT yourself! :) "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " It's a very slim story featuring a ship caught in a time loop and humanoid badger pirates that suffers from an all-too-flippant Doctor. It's a harmless romp, yet there's violence in it, and the Doctor's reaction seems off. Good use of the time loop for narrative effect, but yeah, it tends to repeat itself. "

    " This is one of the zany, fun and somewhat completely bonkers story. In that style, it's one of the most enjoyable ones. There's the time is not a linear thing going on and some cute aliens. So again an enjoyable romp. "

    " While there are a lot of very likable characters and very vivid ones, it doesn't help the fact that the story is a bit thin and boring in the middle. Otherwise, it has a very strong and unusual ending and space pirate badgers! "
