Zamper, 1995, Gareth Roberts
The return of the militaristic space-turtles, the Chelonians, in a story linking corporate espionage, arms-dealing, and slave labor. One of the “just okay” books in the “New Adventures” line. It’s a decent Doctor Who story with the requisite pile of corpses at the end and the glimmer of a good sci-fi idea linking it all together, with maybe a tilt your head and squint bit of post-Colonial critique regarding exploited natives adopting the bad habits of those doing the exploiting.
