Another big, cosmic story where someone tries to tie together a bunch of Doctor Who history and make it form a whole.
The Celestial Toymaker is a godlike character ( similar to Star Trek's Q) that likes to play games with people and planets. A great character that should have been used more.

The main story is a bit weak, but I didn't mind as I love the Toymaker, the use of Who history was clever and there was some nice characterization of the Doctor and company. They felt like a bunch of people thrown together who are having some friction as they learn to live with each other.

The flashback/interlude featuring the young Doctor and friends as students on Galifry was mildly entertaining but went on too long and was a bit annoying as most of the Time Lord Renagades don't have names, just titles.

an uneven book, but it has enough good parts to get you through the rough ones.
