Well written interesting story of a well known piece of English history (too bad you brought the monarchy back though as this was the closest you got to revolution and a republic!!!). Gripping most of the time although some bits are slower paced and others plain unbelievable. Generally great though.

When I first read this excellent historical novel, I was glad above all else that Pat Troughton's doctor was true to form. All his little quirks wind up in this charming novel somewhere or another. And the whole tale is excellently written. Hurrah for historicals!

The book attempts a novelistic version of the Doctor Who historicals. Given the freedom that a novel has, Gatiss goes all out, including spies, voyages at sea, a female pirate captain, and the Doctor playing soothsayer to Oliver Cromwell. Much of it is silly in the way that "The Romans" was silly. The adventures of Ben and the Pirate Captain are just too much for me to take, too many cliches and not much contribution to the story. Gatiss has written better books than this.
