Doctor Who: Paradox Lost by George Mann

4.0

This was a wonderfully surprising 11th Doctor installment of the continuing series. The story takes place simultaneously in the the early 20th century and the late 28th century, centering on a psychic feeding race called the Squall that live outside of time. Amy and Rory are in character and capable as always, assisting the Doctor from across time. The Doctor gets help from an unlikely source- a ex-cop from London who has a history of dealing with creatures and other questionable cases named Professor Angelchrist. The situation and character are reminiscent of The Talons of Weng Chiang from Tom Baker's era. Amy and Rory are helped by an AI robot she names Arvin. As most of these future-past stories go, everything is connected and has been always as it will be. It's comforting to see narratives wrapped up this way, and I love how the Doctor was able to include the Professor and Arvin in the conclusion.
This is an interesting, fun timey-wimey little story, and a good place for anyone to enter the world of Doctor Who novels.
