Amazon.co.uk Review
In Demontage Justin Richards has managed to capture the essence of a great Doctor Who tale and in the process has defined Sam and Fitz better than perhaps any other author. Even the Doctor sings. The plot involving various deceptions and double-double-crosses in a space casino is both simple and intriguing, despite a couple of plot holes you can drive a bus through. Fitz fares especially well, falling into the role of a quasi-James Bond spy with ease. His scenes are enjoyable and Richards has managed to do him proud. Like all too many of the BBC range so far this story would be superb on screen. It cries out for that sort of visual treatment even though some of the surprises it has in store may be unachievable as a result (it's easy to mask a character in a novel but less so when you can see them). A great addition to the range and a superb step forward for Richards who is improving in leaps and bounds. More in the future, please. --David J Howe

 A Montage of Excellence October 19, 2008
G. Hardwick
When I red the blurb, I thought that the book would have too many plot threads and I would get confused. I was wrong. The plots worked well together and apart. The Doctor is brilliantly captured and Fitz is a welcome addition to the Tardis crew. Sam, although she has her moments, is quite dull. I think that Justin Richards has improved after Option Lock and thanks to this, the Burning and Time Zero, he is one of the EDA's best writers
 Well written but didn't do it for me. February 16, 2008
Tim Allan (Scotland)
I can't help but feel a little dissapointed with this book. Although Richard's writes well for the Doctor, the plot is just to slow and in the end feels a little bit pointless.
Great plot and characterizations June 5, 2000

Fitz and the Doctor are particularly well-drawn and entertaining in this who-or-what-dunnit. Sam takes a back seat, but a host of memorable characters make this a very engaging book despite the rather unscientific premise. Good stuff.
Clever, Clever and Fitz is a breath of fresh air! January 15, 2000

After the top-notch THE TAINT, Richards' DEMONTAGE proves that the addition of Fitz as one of the Doctor's companions, has truly given the series a new lease of life. Not only that, but this tale of paintings coming to life and gambler's dodgy dealings aboard a space station, is wonderfully paced by Richards and exciting to boot. A real sense of adventure here, this is Doctor Who at it's most entertaining.
