A small group of gifted people take turns in the spotlight as they battle a malignant artificial intelligence obsessed with the supernatural that they've set loose upon the world. Last volume, Ellis riffed on Sherlock Holmes. This volume he riffs on Doctor Who, introducing a female Doctor and her companion before the show had a chance to the same. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The characters form a strong cast, with parallels noticeably resembling other famous fictional people (Vivek Headland is Sherlock Holmes, Simeon Winters is James Bond, Brigid Roth is Doctor Who, Maria Kilbride is Bernard Quatermass, and Robin Morel (cunning -man) is Carnacki the Ghost-Finder).
I love the storyline, intertwined with mythology, horror, science fiction, crime fiction. This novel was a direct inspiration to me to read The Kalevala.
