Short Trips: A Universe of Terrors edited by John Binns, Big Finish, 2004, $24.95, ISBN 1-84435-008-8

One of the advantages of the Doctor Who series is that stories can be set in any time or space thanks to the Doctor's Tardis, which can take him to literally any reality possible. This is the latest in a series of anthologies of short stories featuring the Doctor, in his various manifestations, with a sampling of his many companions. They travel back into Earth's history, visit other planets, and resolve one problem after another, sometimes in deadly seriousness, sometimes with humorous effects. The best stories in this volume are by Juliet McKenna, Lance Parkin, and Jonathan Morris. If you're not already a fan, you're probably not going to like the book very much, but if you are, here's a nice selection of new adventures to tide you over until the BBC finally gets off its butt and brings the television series back.
