After a handful of adventures, Amy Pond is looking forward to seeing her fiance again, but they arrive on Earth to find him gone... along with the rest of the population. An ancient Time Lord prison has failed and now the Kin are free, stalking the universe in search of the one thing they need; the last of the Time Lords.
Say what you like about Nightmare in Silver, Gaiman knows his Who and isn't afraid to play with it a bit. Here, he creates a foe both epic and personal. The Kin can destroy worlds, but they'll do it by coming and dealing with you one at a time. They are eerie and repulsive in their bizzare masks, and their vast power is all the more horrid for the pettiness of its employment.
A good end to a good series, with that one blip at the beginning. I recommend the cheaper compilation, 11 Doctors, 11 Stories to any Who fan.
