Summary: A ripping yarn with a surprise twist
Review: Victorian London - a city of fogs, suppressed society, and Jack the Ripper. The Doctor and Ace come back from a corrupted future to find out how Jack's actions have changed the course of history. But the truth is more than they had thought...

The Doctor and Ace have a very interesting adventure in a classic setting, one which often inspires a great story (like 'Talons of Weng-Chiang', 'Evil of the Daleks' and - stretching over to the Edwardian era - 'Pyramids of Mars'). And Jack the Ripper is such a big figure in history that a Who story featuring him was inevitable ('Talons' was a step in that direction).

However, if you are expecting a simple "Doctor vs. Ripper" yarn, you will be surprised. As you might expect from the title, the story ties in very much with the fictional history of Doctor Who, and in ways that you might find surprising.

To say to much would spoil the surprise, so get it and read it before someone spoils it for you...

Summary: Please make me a tv series!!!!
Review: Wow - every time I read a novel from either of the two authors, I wish that I had seen it on tv. Their stories fit perfectly into the season type they are intended for. The Matrix is a perfect example. Right from the start you know something big is going down, as it's not always that the Doctor is terrified out of his wits. Best part of the novel was definitely the surprise villain 'The Ripper'. Wow!!!
