THE TARGET STORYBOOK: STORY 2

The Target Storybook continues with a First Doctor story by Simon Guerrier.

It’s set during The Chase, which, at time of writing, I haven’t watched yet. Thankfully, you don’t need much prior knowledge of the television story, as this is a standalone adventure that just happens to take place at the end of Journey into Terror (hence the short story’s title).

Journey Out of Terror is told in the first person, with the narrative switching between Barbara and Ian. This works quite well here, and the characterisation is spot on.

The concept is really well realised, with a beautiful but disturbing ending.

Wonderful.
