This starts out as a newspaper reporting on the Kottururh crisis. Mentioning the Doctor and Daleks - so its set it during the TLV novels. River Song picks up the story as editor, and expands on the Kotturuh.

As with the ‘Dawn of the Kotturuh’ short story, this is a bit of scene setting. Its not really telling you anything you won’t find elsewhere. Though there is a bit about the Kotturuh which describes them better than I’ve seen elsewhere, and has a nice illustration.

Its followed by a who’s who of the Dark Times, and mentions various races from the Doctor Who universe and those involved with the TLV series, including Brian the Ood.

I didn’t buy this at the time, and as I just wanted to read the Time Lord Victorious bit, I found it online.

You're not missing much if you’ve not read it, but a nice addition to the series though.
