Review: Doctor Takes a Back Seat in his own Celebration
Rating: 2 out of 5

This short story, told from the perspective of two aliens, seems to miss the point of the eBook range. While it's not necessarily badly written, I found it rather boring. The Doctor is essentially a background character who flits in to save the day but we don't really get inside his or the companion's head. Nyssa comes off as a cardboard cutout just to stand around and talk to people to connect it to the Doctor. In the end it's a utterly boring tale that reads like any other SciFi story where an alien is stuck on earth, sells his wares disguised as everyday stuff and things go bad.
