Synopsis

"Goodbye, little Emily."

April 1938, and a shadowy figure attends an impromptu burial in Shoreditch, London. His name is Honoré Lechasseur. After a chance encounter with the mysterious Catherine Howkins, he's had advance warning that his friend Emily Blandish is going to die. But is forewarned necessarily forearmed? And just how far is he willing to go to save Emily's life?

Because Honoré isn't the only person taking an interest in Emily Blandish — she's come to the attention of the Albino, one of the new breed of gangsters surfacing in post-rationing London. And the only life he cares about is his own.

Catherine had left Lechasseur, and by taking the belt with her she might condemned them both to death. But all she could think about was the memory of him in the darkened corridor, of her launching herself at him, desperate to escape. Catching the belt that he wore around his waist and activating it, jumping them all...

Though this is quite late into the Time Hunter series (with only two other novels following it), I feel that this is actually quite a good introduction to the series - or at least its vibes and potential. I find the non-linear time travelling narrative within this one to be one of the best within the wide world of Doctor Who spinoffs, if not within Doctor Who as a whole. I wish that more stories were written like this. It is also quite short, but uses its short lenghth perfectly. It is not too long but it does not feel too short.
