"Viewed objectively, it could be the most momentous impact event since Adric hit Mexico." Okay, RUDE

This book is interminable. Thank goodness the rest of the trilogy is by different authors.

I need way less of this:

"Past, present and possible run parallel. Now here, Now there and Now just across the stream. Here there is rubble, somewhere there is a building. Crumbled dust is also solid. But the ripple shifts Time into a new channel, making memories into imagination, and a mockery of plans. A blank page to start a fresh tale."

And way more concrete specifics, please.

Love this characterization of the Doctor: "Outwardly a clownish eccentric, a genius in human terms, but that was just the bit you were allowed to see... Ace had had the chance to look closer, and through the occasional cracks in his veneer, she glimpsed a darker, huger intellect. It seemed very alien, detached and powerful, as if the Doctor was just something the intellect went about in." Yeahhh, that's my boy lmfao
