'Doctor Who: Salt Of The Earth' is a short novella featuring the Third Doctor and his companion Jo Grant.  The Doctor promises Jo a vacation and she thinks she is going to a beach resort.  She is understandably upset to find herself in the sandy Australian outback of 2028 to go 'blokarting,' a type of windsurfing on sand.The discovery of mysterious figures carved from salt halts the vacation and starts the mystery.  Who created these statues that seem to look like missing people from town and why do they look like they are in pain?This is part of the Time Trips series and it's written by Trudi Canavan, who is better known for The Black Magicial Trilogy.  This is the first of the Time Trips series I've read, but I really liked it and it captured the nuance of the Third Doctor and Jo very well.I was given a review copy of this ebook by Random House UK, Ebury Publishing and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
