I will admit that it has been some time since I have read any of the the Time Hunter series - the loosely based spin off Doctor Who series from Telos (am not sure if they still have the license to use Doctor Who any more or not).
The series consists of a series of novellas all covering different times and places as the two time sensitives embark on a series of adventures. I will not give too much away (you know me and spoilers) just that either this book is where the series finally finds its pace or John Paul Catton can weave a great story as for me this was the first book I really got drawn in to.
Each book is written by a different author although I do believe there is a story arc to the series this book is pretty much a standalone (or at least I think it is).

This is the fourth book in the time hunter series. It was originally published in 2004 and based on characters from a doctor who novella, the cabinet of light. When telos lost the rights to publish doctor who books they created the time hunter series featuring the two characters fom the original doctor who novella, Emily Blandish and Honorè Lechasseur. (Eighteen years after the first book telos have reprinted the eleven time hunter novellas and as a bonus have presented an alternative cabinet of light as book zero, making twelve time hunter books.)
This is a very well written book with a good central story. Set in Japan and utilising Japanese myths and legends it was an interesting story. The characters are very well done and this is a fun, well written short novella. I didn't read these at the time they were originally released and decided to read them after seeing they had been reprinted. A very enjoyable novella in a good series.
