I don't think I've read it in full but I have no patience left to leaf through it for the nth time looking for a divergence that may lead to a new storyline

That was an excellent, fast paced read from the start to the finish. It was canon to 12's character and I felt like I was there right along with The Doctor!

A somewhat more diffuse book, with lots of different and quite independent timelines for adventures of the Twelfth Doctor on an unnamed moon. (Though in one variant he goes back to contemporary earth for an adventure with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.) This also has the feature I noted from some of the Decide Your Destiny books, where the player makes choices that I would have expected to be made by the writer, eg Chapter 78:

- If you think the sonic will open the airlock, tap here to go to Entry 118.
- If you think the airlock will stay shut, tap here to go to Entry 83.

Some rather good lines, but I prefer when the multiple storylines in these books are all set in more or less the same universe as each other. Baxendale also wrote three of the Decide Your Destiny books, which I likewise found average rather than compelling.
