purplecat: The Sixth Doctor (Who:Six)

Book cover for Doctor Who The Shadow in the Glass by Justing Richards and Stephen Cole.  A blue cover with the faces of the sixth Doctor and Hitler behind a transparent globe.  Blue streaks emanate out from the globe.

I've no memory of reading this at all. The back makes it sound both interesting and memorable - a retired brigadier stumbling upon shenanigans from WW2 recruiting the sixth Doctor for help. Richards and Cole are both solid Doctor Who authors who I rate but none of it stirs a memory.
purplecat: The Eighth Doctor. (Who:Eight)

Cover of the Past Doctor Adventure Eye of Heaven by Jim Mortimore.  The fourth Doctor's face in a red swirl.  An image of an Easter Island statue to the right.

I've always struggled a bit with Jim Mortimore's work. I recall this being more accessible than many, with a lower body count and a nice Leela point-of-view. Online reviews tell me that, even so, the narrative is out-of-sequence which I hadn't recalled so it's probably not _that_ accessible.
purplecat: The Second Doctor holding his diary (Who:Books)



Once upon a time I had an encyclopaedic memory of the plot of every book I owned and a goodly number that I didn't. These days I can barely remember the plot of books I read last year. I have absolutely zero recollection of the plot of the above. It is the first Past Doctor Adventure on my shelves so I deduce it features the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan. I like the 1950s vibe of the cover. I've just read the back cover blurb and I still remember nothing, though it, together with the cover make me think of When Worlds Collide.
purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
A more random than normal Doctor Who picture perhaps, in that the only reason for the choice is that it caught my eye on the bookshelf.
