An unexceptional sf adventure involving space pirates and anthropomorphic robots. This must have been one of the first Tenth Doctor books – his character seems very Nine-ish in places. Also he is rather too eager to kill off the baddies.

I was intending asking you if you had read this book as I’ve been eyeing it up in Hodges Figgis for the past month. In the end I decided not to bother you with the query and relied on other reviews that suggested the volume was not all it could have been.
While you recommend the book strongly I am afraid my knowledge of history would not be sufficient to identify errors such as those you have pointed out (excluding some of the Irish ones). For that reason I think I will give it a miss for the time being.
