Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-01 00:00:00 Andrew Runge I've read a few of the Big Finish Short Trips anthologies, and after the disappointing Dalek Empire, the stories in this anthology took a refreshing take on each era. The First Doctor stories were the highlight for me. The Mother Road had some great insights into the original crew, particularly a rare glance at the Doctor and Susan's views on their homeworld. The Three Paths has to be one of the greatest short stories ever to grace Who fiction. Very few authors manage to offer a fresh insight on the Doctor as a character and tell a good story. Here Ian Potter does both. The story has nods to other eras and mediums of the series without getting bogged down on continuity. For a fan, it's most certainly the highlight of the anthology. On equal footing with The Three Paths for me was Separation Day. The creation of such a disastrous timeline caused by the events of the novel takes a marvelous imagination, and pulled on my heart strings that the future of reality could ultimately revolve around the love two people share for one another. This anthology has spurred me on to dip into one of the others. My only doubts are that they will not live up to the stories told in this one. Highly recommended!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-03 00:00:00 Kelly Snook I have to put the book down to the very end, I like the stories in the beginning but as I get further into the book it's just not working out. I enjoyed. The Mother Road, Father Figure, Separation Day, Into the Silent Land, Life After Queth and Curtain Call but it became difficult to get through the others, and really, Into the Silent Land is the most stand out throughout the rest, give that story 9/10
