Trade ReviewThis is so much more than merchandise...these novels are connecting us together even now. All the way across time and space -- Russell T Davies
Target books offered much more than just a window into Doctor Who: they were a formative part of my reading experience -- Alastair Reynolds
Target writers performed quite a invaluable service in 'saving' these stories...so don't think of this book as just another novel. It's a slice of Who history -- Stephen Baxter
It became a ritual, saving pocket money, then deciding which Target book to go for. I devoured them -- Mark Gatiss
