I've just finished this e-short, and am pleased to report that it continues the excellent progress made last month, and is the strongest of the three tales so far. It was a pacey story, well told, with nice characterisation, some good use of certain ongoing series things, and a well-crafted nod to Norse mythology. Indeed having recently finished Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" I particularly appreciated what this book did in that regard. Thoroughly recommended to both fans of Pertwee's Doctor, as well as more recent fans of Doctor Who for a glimpse of the series' past.

Listened to this book on Audible and loved it! Marcus Sedgwick does a great reading, and his writing is excellent (as per usual)

Once again, a captivating and well written short story. Since I haven't watched the old series (yet), I got to know the Third Doctor's personality a bit more, so thank you for that, Marcus Sedgwick!

Perfectly captures the personalities of the Third Doctor and Jo, and manages to be feel like a typical story of the period and still be a bit surprising. The writing is strong and even - overall the best short Who story I've read so far, and I'm glad they did so well by one of my favorite Doctors.

for being 50 some odd pages long, it started off slow, but was fun and interesting by the end.

This story had a lot going on in it. I was surprised to be thrust into a situation surrounded by Norse Mythology characters, but it was fun! I've never been big on the Third Doctor, but his craftiness and his love for Jo in this story was endearing.

The Third Doctor vs. Vikings (and the Master!), which is a fun idea. Unfortunately, I found the writing style a bit flat.

So far this is my least favorite of the stories. I just spent most of the time while reading this bored. Hopefully the other stories will be better.
