Coming Soon: Festive Anthology, The Wintertime Paradox – with added Time Lord Victorious!

An upcoming anthology, comprised of festive fiction which sees the Doctor come up against various returning enemies, also promises to include material related to Time Lord Victorious, the multiplatform adventure which takes place in the Dark Times.

The Wintertime Paradox, written by Dave Rudden, is teased as having a “mystery piece of Time Lord Victorious story released alongside the book on its publication day”.

This collection of short stories follows similar titles released annually, making them ideal Christmas presents. Call me a sceptic, but I reckon that’s no coindicence.

Here’s the blurb for The Wintertime Paradox:

The incredible stories of Doctor Who Christmases past, present and future…

Did you know Davros and the Doctor met for three Christmases, on different planets, across time and space? Have you heard the one about the time the Plasmavores came to pay a festive visit? Or when Madame Vastra fought a cyborg?

This thrilling anthology presents a fantastic collection of adventures through time and space, featuring the best-loved characters and places from the Doctor Who world.The perfect stories for the bleakest – and sometimes brightest – time of the year, these festive, thrilling and often moving tales make the ideal gift for Doctor Who fans and young sci-fi lovers alike.

Dave Rudden is a former actor, teacher and time-displaced Viking currently living in Dublin. He is the author of the award-winning Knights of the Borrowed Dark trilogy, and enjoys cats, adventure and being cruel to fictional children. A lifelong Doctor Who fan, Dave is also author of Twelve Angels Weeping.

Nothing says Christmastime like the creator of the Daleks!

The Wintertime Paradox is out on 15th October 2020.
