Doctor Who Short Trips: Dalek Empire by Nicholas Briggs, Ian Farrington, James Swallow, Justin Richards, Simon Guerrier, Joseph Lidster, Sharon Gosling
1.0
DNF at 90 pages.
The first 50 pages of this book were alright but I started to lose interest after that because neither the doctor or his companions are in the majority of the stories that I read. What it says on the blurb of this book: "the good Doctor in his many incarnations is on hand to guide us through the terrible events" is misleading because the doctor isn't in the majority of the stories. Some of the stories were slow paced as well, which is surprising considering it is a short story collection. Maybe I would have liked this book a lot more if I had listened to the audio drama.
The short stories are all connected to the Daleks invasion of a galaxy whether before, during and after it. Also when the doctor does appear, he tries to stop it from happening and also fights it during the invasion.
