Not bad so far, although I'm not getting the Second Doctor from the characterisation at all. I'm enjoying the plot well enough though and Jamie and Zoe seem a lot better fleshed out than the Doctor.
And done. "Not bad" just about sums up my feelings about this - no better and no worse than the average Doctor Who tie-in book, although I suppose I expected it rise above average.

The non-Who parts - especially everything to do with describing space and various spacecraft etc - were good, though, so I'm looking forward to reading some original science fiction by Baxter at some point.
