Description
"In 2006, the world is about to be overwhelmed by a disaster that might destroy human civilization: the inversion of the Earth's magnetic field. Deep in the Antarctic base, the FLIPback team is frantically devising a system to reserve the change in polarity. Above them, the SS Elysium carries its jet-set passengers on an ultimate cruise. On board is Ruby Duvall, a journalist sent to record the FLIPback moment. Instead, she finds a man called the Doctor, who is locked out of a strange green show more box he says is merely a part of his time machine. And she finds old enemies of the Doctor: silver giants at work beneath the ice."--Page 4 of cover. show lessTags

I thought this was an excellent Seventh Doctor novel, achieving the rare feat of writing a decent Cybermen story, in this case by the guy who actually played the Cyberleader on screen in the 1980s; set in 2006 and unifying the continuity of the various Cybermen TV stories set in the twentieth century. The Doctor is separated from his usual companions (who are off having the adventure described in Birthright) and teams up with a feisty investigative journalist called Ruby Duvall; if Big Finish are casting around for more characters to revive they could do worse than her.
