| Book description |
Witness the last days of the siege of Masada with the First Doctor and meet the Fourth Doctor's extraordinary 'old flame.' An evil enemy makes life difficult for the Seventh and Third Doctors, and while the Fifth Doctor is under attack on a sinister ship shrouded in fog, the Second may soon be guilty of a grave error of judgement... The Sixth Doctor's hopes of a holiday are dashed when he discovers a pleasure planet is hiding a shocking secret, and the Eighth Doctor is caught up in a deadly drama played out during the construction of Stonehenge. And, of course, that's just the beginning... | |

I think that this was the first anthology of short stories featuring the first eight Doctors produced by the BBC, back in 1998. I had heard a couple of them previously from the audio release narrated by the late Nicholas Courtney and Sophie Aldred, but it's nice to have the hard copy. The audio version memorably included the first Iris story, "Old Flames"; the book also has a very good First Doctor historical story, "The Last Days", set during the siege of Masada, by one Evan Pritchard who is apparently really Rebecca Levene. A couple of others worth mentioning: "Freedom" by Steve Lyons, a nice Brigadier/Three/Master story; "Mondas Passing" by Paul Grice, not actually as good a story but a reflection on what Ben and Polly did in 1986, twenty years on; and "The People's Temple" by Paul Leonard, a creepy take on Stonehenge. A collection that is worth looking out for. (
