A great novel where one finds the atmosphere of the 70's 3rd Doctor in a modern story that will pass very well in the new series. Only small downside, I found the Doctor a little back from the Master. But it is very faithful to the original and very interesting. In the end the story is more focused on the Master but it's a nice surprise (dailleurs one of the book passages made a direct nod to the Master of John Simm and without even knowing it anticipates the finale of Season 8 Peter Capaldi;)).
Having not read the original version, I have not been bothered by the translation except maybe once but nothing too bad.
If you're a fan of Doctor, do not miss this excellent novel and this great adventure. And if in addition it allows Milady to continue publishing the adventures of our favorite Time Lord, do not hesitate.
