One of the things that's obvious reading this in 2014 is that the main group of characters are essentially the US equivalent of Torchwood - in mission, if not in modus operandi. They're investigating something in New Hampshire in the dead of winter when the Doctor wanders in, and, from there on, there's quite a lot of action, people get killed off at an alarming rate, and a generally fast pace to things.
On the plus side, the enemy is quite a good one and the setting is quite atmospheric in an X-Files/Supernatural/etc. sort of way. The Doctor and Leela are also well-written and believable. On the downside, Leela doesn't get to do a lot (though what she does do works well), and few of the guest stars are really likeable. But, still it hangs together well enough, and is an enjoyable quick read.
