"A satisfyingly gruesome, action-packed and thrillingly fast-moving
continuity-fest, on a scale surely way beyond the TV show’s effects
budget"

"I try not to dish out full marks regularly but Engines of War
warranted it so, so much. It’s a must-read, a well-needed insight
into the Time War that is exquisitely written amongst other things.
Mann has a sure grip of the War Doctor, a sublime companion, plenty
of edge-of-your-seat action sequences but, above all, Engines of
War gives scope and considerably more depth to the Doctor’s dilemma
in The Day of the Doctor, helping us see why he really was so
conflicted over using the Moment. More please, at the double"
*Doctor Who TV*
"Engines of War provides adventure with the highest stakes and
delivers its central character nicely to his position at the
beginning of the anniversary special, with a pleasing echo of the
incarnation’s birth.
While he may cry “No more”, we will happily demand plenty more of
this War Doctor!"
