Some interesting lore, but the story feels very unpolished. There are too many characters, coming in and out, and reaching for grand emotional moments that the reader hasn't got to. Hinton had, and would go on to do, much better.

A really enjoyable Seventh Doctor story, as the Doctor, Chris and Ros appear on twenty-second century Mars in the midst of the Dalek Invasion of Earth, with the politics of Ice Warrior appropriation of left-behind Osirian technology putting all at risk. Simply excellent stuff, missing only Bernice Summerfield for whom this is the world of her expertise.
