I had been looking forward to this, having enjoyed the original version very much, and for most of the book I appreciated the little extra bits of detail Clegg brought to the narrative - it's a story where both companions do unusually well in terms of characterisation. Oddly at the very end it completely ran out of steam. The broadcast version's studied but attractive ambiguities over who has actually been thrown off Wrack's ship, and what Turlough's choice actually is, completely fail to transfer to the printed page. There are ways of doing this, but Clegg was obviously unable to do more than transcribe what was on the screen. A disappointing end to what had been a promising book. ( )
