Set in a future where humans and their alien allies are mining the rains of pure diamonds that occur amidst the clouds of Saturn. Tucker when on form is one of the best Who novelists writing at the moment, and here he is on form - great characterisation of the Doctor and Bill, a nice mystery saboteur plot which ends in a decent twist, loads of fan service for previous Who stories both Old and New, and tight writing. This was the first of the three Doctor-and-Bill novels this year (I accidentally read the second one already) and it's a good start.
