This is the odd Doctor Who story that takes place wholly inside the TARDIS. The symbiotic relationship between the Doctor and his ship means that we get a lot more of their internal thought process than usual. Even the alternating point of view provides unique insight.
It's clear that the author is a deep fan of Doctor Who and books. The solution to the mystery is hidden in plain sight in the first few pages. Nonetheless, a quick romp through multiple time periods of a quaint village manage to explore core aspects of the 10th doctor's series. Implications of the time war and extrapolations of sonic and psychic technology.
Has the manic feel of a modern Doctor Who TV episode with some flourishes that work well in text but would be complicated to film. This part of a series of eBook originals produced by the BBC. On the strength of this story I ordered a copy of the Time Trips anthology.
Love the random callout to Ian Banks.
