Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A stand-alone book in the "Faction Paradox" novel range, "Of the City of the Saved..." concerns events in—as the title implies—the City of the Saved, a cosmopolis at the end of time where every human who's ever lived has been resurrected. Murder in the City is literally impossible, so a private investigator named Laura Tobin gets called in to investigate when, naturally, one such killing occurs.

Among other things, "Of the City of the Saved..." features the return of Compassion, an ongoing character from the BBC's "Doctor Who" novel range. [Although no pre-knowledge of her is required.] This book compliments the already published "Faction Paradox: The Book of the War" and "Faction Paradox: This Town Will Never Let Us Go," but is perfectly readable by itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the weirdest corner of the Doctor Who universe..., July 16, 2008
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've read a scattered sampling of the "weird" Doctor Who from between the cancellation of the classic Sylvester McCoy series to the new Russell T. Davies series. Some fine works of science fiction, inventive new worlds and new ways of life, came out of that niche fan series.

You don't need, but might well want, to know the setting of this novel within that world. Either way, this is a great example of inspired science fiction set in the world of all humanity set against the backdrop of the war to end all wars. It manages to remain small in scale, with real characters, at the same time as it explores large ideas, large scale stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rip-roaring read from start to finish!, November 10, 2005
I can't speak highly enough about this book - if you love the kind of intelligent, tight science fiction that grips you from the moment you pick it up, then you're love this!
