Doctor Who: The Cradle by Tasha Suri
3.0
The Decades Collection is six novellas each set in a decade of Doctor Who's run.
London, 1978. We're introduced to Seema Ahlumalia, who along with two friends, is menaced by three National Front members. After escaping, they meet a mysterious man called the Doctor, board a magical space bus, and confront their traumas.
There are some interesting things here. The early parts and the characters are good. And there's a fun bit where the Doctor (here, Peter Capaldi's Thirteenth Doctor) is given an unasked for make-over. But once the space bus appears, its mostly Doctor Who-by-numbers.
