One of the last of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, seems to have got rave reviews from a lot of people though I feel it is alright but not stellar. The Doctor is involved with two different timelines in the same mental hospital, in one of which he is ostensibly a mysterious patient called Smith. Supporting character Laska is nicely done, though at the expense of regulars Fitz and particularly Trix.

A book that really takes largely outside of the Doctor’s Perspective but I find it disappointed that it takes halfway to the book for Alien Incursion to happen.

For a book set so late in the EDAs, this book feels very much like an introduction. The outside POV in this book works both for and against it. The plot is fairly tight and the characters whose thoughts we do hear were interesting enough to keep my attention, but as someone who's read a lot of EDAs, I was hoping for more insight into the feelings of the TARDIS team. For what it is, I think this would be a great book to give to someone only passingly familiar with Doctor Who. Much like Blink in the new TV series, it's the outside perspective on the Doctor's world that makes this more accessible.
