This is fine work by Charlie Higson, in this ninth entry in this 50th Anniversary series of short stories. A very crisp, well paced, fast moving tale that manages to cover just enough ground to be a very interesting  story addition to the Doctor that we have had the least amount of time with: The Ninth Doctor as portrayed by Christopher Eccleston. Higson captures Eccleston spot on here, even including a slight bit of the off kilter state the Doctor is usually in soon after a regeneration. This tale takes place between the very final moments of the new series first episode, "Rose" and the final moments of, well, the first new series episode, "Rose". You'll understand when you read it. The Doctor's companion for this story is a welcome difference from the usual, and the way that Higson slowly reveals that this companion, Ali is, well,.........NO SPOILERS! This is the first of this series I have read, and I heartily recommend it. It's a story that you'll want to revisit for more than one read.
