Alrightreads: Eleven³

George Mann, 
Doctor Who: Paradox Lost

2011 / Ebook / 238 pages

****

Gory Quatermassian sci-fi horror. Another gem hidden by a generic title.


Naomi A. Alderman, Doctor Who: Borrowed Time

2011 / Ebook / 255 pages

****

Smart and funny sci-fi corporate satire, like a time-travel Severance.


Dan Abnett, Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By

2011 / Audiobook / 320 pages

***

Not the most festive Christmas special, but some cracking carol puns.


Jacqueline Rayner, Doctor Who: Magic of the Angels

2012 / Ebook / 110 pages

**

I didn't know 'Quick Reads' was a synonym for 'Early Readers,' but probably should have guessed. Quite the letdown after Touched by an Angel.


J. T. Colgan, Doctor Who: Dark Horizons

2012 / Audiobook / 320 pages

***

Long-winded, sanitised Viking shenanigans. The absence of regular companions in this post-Ponds stretch is good for continuity, but I missed having them around, almost like they exist for a reason.
