As with the Monstrous Beauty comic, I didn’t buy this at the time, so again I’m viewing some rather well done YouTube videos.

The Tenth Doctor wakes up on the TARDIS floor with a bit of amnesia, outside are the Daleks. Not wanting to hang around ,he quickly dematerialises, however when he lands the Daleks are present -its not really his day. What’s worse is that wherever and whenever he lands the Daleks are always there. With the Daleks having no memory of the Time War, there’s a paradox going on…

The story is interesting enough: avoiding the Daleks, giving in and working with them, a monster being introduced etc.  There is some background info on the Dalek Strategist and why its still in its old battered casing. One of the things I can say about the various parts of the TLV series is that certain details are explained. Making each part have a place in the whole.

It was a bit unclear as to why this was a paradox, possibly its part of a another storyline in the comic range that, in not being a reader of them, I’ve missed. The Doctor making everything right with virtually a simple wave of the sonic is a little unsatisfying.

Slight spoiler but the 13 Doctor turns up here briefly, with the Reality War only a couple of weeks ago, where she did the same thing, its almost as if they stole the idea. But as with that, its a nice bonus.

The Hond turn up in this story, these are from the Dark Times. Also the entity from the Daleks! Webcast was a slave of the Hond. The Eaglemoss short story The Restoration Empire, goes into more detail and helps to explain the bigger arc, that the Daleks need the Doctor go go back to the Dark Times. Failing to keep the Tenth Doctor, this ends with them considering an earlier version, that being the Eighth, which leads nicely into the Audios.

A good story.
