New Frontiers. - By: Tim Allan, 30 Jun 2008 
This novel is simply brilliant. Comfortably the best eighth doctor novel so far, i found it impossible to put down. From Fitz's impersonation of Frank Sinatra to the Raab, an intelligent vegetable this novel will keep you gripped. At times this novel is also extremely dark. The standout point being when one of the characters is minced to death. If you've never read an eighth doctor novel before then this is a great one to start with.
Action packed, intelligent sci-fi - By: Sam, 21 Sep 2005 
Many moons ago I used to read a lot of science fiction but over the years my tastes have changed & I have drifted away. However, when the opportunity arose to buy some cheap DW books I thought I may as well see what they are like & I must say that the novels in the 8th Doctor series that I have read so far have been excellent.
'Frontier World' sees the Doctor & his two companions on a world ran by a bioengineering company that specialises in food production. There must be a reason why the T.A.R.D.I.S was drawn here & a little digging soon uncovers a plot to geneticallly engineer new live forms using alien plant DNA.
This novel is very fast paced & is a highly entertaining action romp. The characters are well rounded & the 8th Doctor comes across as a very interesting take on Who (pity it was never explored).
'Frontier Worlds' coupled with the also excellent 'Year of the Intelligent Tigers' means that I will definitely be reading more DW 8th Doctor books in the future.
Simply superb - By: , 05 Jun 2002 "Frontier Worlds" is one of the best novels of the BBC Eighth Doctor range. It has mystery, intrigue, industrial espionage, action, green monsters & witticisms. The whole thing reads like a Bond movie & is no worse for it. The characters of the Doctor, Fitz & Compassion are spot on & Compassion is by far & away the best thing about the whole book. I would highly recommend this to any DW fan.
Disappointing-Too slow and uncertain - By: A. CHARLWOOD, 09 Aug 2001 
I found this rather slow & hard work. All the ingredients were there for an exciting story but somehow they never managed to make up a satisfying whole for me. The characterisations were strong & memorable but the plot less so, a bit too much intruige & espionage & not enough solid action to keep the story fresh & involving. Just not quite my cup of tea.
Should be up there with the Dr Who classics - By: , 17 Jun 2000 This book is one of the best of the BBC book range. It is gripping throughout. This appears to be more reminicient to "old" Dr Who than most other 8th Doctor novels, & I appreciate this. It fallls along the "man-into-monster" plotline, although from the cover I had guessed the villan was the Krynoid. I was wrong & disappointed, but hey, I can't have everything.
