From the Heart of Europe

4) The Gallifrey Chronicles, by Lance Parkin

My decision to read the BBC's Eighth Doctor Adventures in a peculiar order has brought me to the end of the line, in internal chronology, after reading fewer than a tenth of them; so I could be filling in the gaps for some time to come.

Anyway, once again Lance Parkin has produced a mildly confusing if generally readable book. Once again, I find myself thinking that I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point for anyone wanting to get into the Eighth Doctor Adventures; but I have to admit I haven't really identified such a starting point as yet.

5) Love's Labour's Lost, by William Shakespeare

But basically you can skip this one unless it has been heavily cut by someone who knows what they are doing.
