Now, stories about the Cybermen are not my favorite. This one is different, the Cybermen are the back bone of the story but not the whole story. The plot weaves and bobs then weaves again. There are many almosts and very close calls that kept me on the edge of my seat to the end. (  ) shelbel100 | Feb 26, 2014 | no reviews | add a review

A Seventh Doctor novel published in 1997, featuring Ace and Cybermen in wartime 1940s London; grittily imagined, with good characterisation; one of the better Past Doctor Adventures that I have read. It shares certain resonances with The Doctor Dances / The Empty Child, but is really very true to the spirit of McCoy era Who, to the point that I wondered if it could have been a script in its own right.
As indeed, apparently, it was - submitted for the 1990 season that was never made. (
