stunningly imaginative, clever and devastating. its 'unofficial' status (being a spin-off from the dr who NAs) gives it an amazing edge, allowing familiar dr who concepts to be reenergised.

utterly different to 'transit', but equally genius. the setting is on a huge scale and the utopian atmosphere is involving and compellingly original in dr who.

possibly the best NA - certainly definitive, in that it encapsulates beautifully descriptive adult prose (often experimental) with violence and big ideas.

cartmel's writing is gorgeous; a powerfully effective and truly adult dr who novel.

beautifully experimental dr who novella - the dr hardly features, and when he does he appears to be an unknown incarnation, but the story is all the stronger for this.

wildly underated; a 1st Dr story which transcends the conventions of the on-screen period. twisted and written in a pleasingly idiosyncratic style.

the opening funeral scene is both hugely sad and a gorgeous piece of writing. wide-ranging and packed with detail and event.

the plot's a runaround, but the characters are all beautifully drawn, and it's nice to have a dr who book almost devoted to the emotional states of its characters.

very funny play on pulp archetypes, full of ideas, and has a genius twist.

the best graphic novel collection so far; a spellbinding and beautifully mythic fairytale. illusory and unconventional, and one of the best uses of dr who's flexibility.

more hugely impressive faction paradox. dense, inventive, meticulously plotted. really compelling, well-drawn characters and period setting. another example of how far 'the whoniverse' can be pushed.
