4.0 out of 5 stars
Frustratingly brilliant, brilliantly frustrating, May 6, 2000
This review is from: Sword of Forever (New Adventures Series) (Paperback)
The Sword of Forever is probably the NA which really severes the ties connecting Bernice Summerfield's adventures to the Doctor's - in style and substance. It's a *large* novel, with large, mindboggling concepts set with expansive sweeps of Mortimore's destructive pen over many locations and times. It's grim, course: it's by Mortimore. It's not atypical of his work, so prepare to be depressed a la Blood Heat or Eternity Weeps. And if you liked that feeling, you'll like Sword of Forever.
As if in repentance for being so damn harsh to Benny and Jason's marriage, Mortimore sees Bernice wedded again. It's mysterious in a universe-threatening way. Which would be even better if it were resolved with less of said mystery.
