Twilight of the Gods seemed a bit clunky in places and seemed to take forever to read but is basically OK (which was essentially my assessment of Bulis' First Doctor novels too). I liked the battle of the two ideological human factions over the resources of Vortis (and note that several other reviewers are too young to realise that it's a reference to Cold War turf fights in Africa and Latin America). I think he also draws quite consciously from several elements of the 1996 Annual stories - the colonisers from offworld and movable planet Vortis in 'The Lair of Zarbi Supremo', and the huge intruders of 'The Lost Ones' (though Bulis' aliens are a lot bigger than the Atlanteans of 1966, and remind me a bit of some of Isaac Asimov's creations). It is also, I now realise, the adventure on Vortis referred to in The Dark Path. The characterisation of the Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria is pretty satisfactory, but the pace, as I said, is a bit slow. ( )
