Publisher's summary
Clare Higgins reads this exciting original adventure featuring the 12th Doctor and Clara, as played by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the BBC TV series.
On a remote human colony planet, under the cover of a protective dome, young Diana Winter summons the TARDIS.
Brought to her side by the power of a mysterious calling card, the Doctor and Clara are given one of their unlikeliest assignments yet. Yet it is one that will have far-reaching consequences.... Many years later, on the homeworld of the alien Golhearn, the time travellers once again meet Diana - but this time the stakes are much higher.
The Golhearn’s savage madness is threatening to destroy their own civilisation, and Diana has a personal reason to call for the Doctor once again.
Is he willing to assist, or must Clara go it alone? Can anyone discover the cause of the monstrous insanity that threatens them all?
Clare Higgins, who played Ohila in the Doctor Who mini-episode "Night of the Doctor", reads this thrilling original adventure by James Goss, part of the Tales of Winter quartet of stories.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Nice to get these characters together again
What did you love best about Doctor Who: The Gods of Winter?
Since it's been two years since we got to have the Doctor and Clara together, it was nice to hear them having a story together again (though I know this came out a while ago). It satisfied that particular itch and I'm glad it came from a writer like Goss, who I've enjoyed before. Plus, grumpy-12 is pretty much the best 12 and we get more of that in this story. Clara got to have moments of being the quick-witted and on-the-ball companion that I've always loved about her character and have missed having in the show.
What other book might you compare Doctor Who: The Gods of Winter to and why?
I've really enjoyed James Goss's work with Doctor Who novels, since he just nails the tone and voice really well. The Blood Cell is a great entry from him that mixes things up a little bit with how it tells the story.
What about Clare Higgins’s performance did you like?
Hearing anyone attempt to talk like 12 brings me joy, but she was a solid performer and narrator.
Any additional comments?
It's a nice nugget of a story and just satisfying to listen to. Satisfied the itch I've had for some 12 'n Clara adventures.

Throw away title, throw away book.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Depends on the friend. I find any situation where the title of the book is miss matched completely to the content to be garbage throw away fiction, but the ending was cute so if someone was a big enough fan I could see them reading it.
What could James Goss have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Make it a short story. There was not enough too it to be as long as it was. I had a hard time caring about anything the characters were doing because they were so flat. I liked the ending so there was a good idea buried underneath it all, but it is not enough to warrant a novel, even one as short as this.
Which character – as performed by Clare Higgins – was your favorite?
The Doctor. She did quite a good job portraying the 12th doctor's surly Scottish tones.
Did Doctor Who: The Gods of Winter inspire you to do anything?
Yes to criticize the garbage title of the book. It has almost zero topicality or bearing on the story. Truly Lame.
Any additional comments?
Again, Meaningless throw away title indicative of garbage fiction. Not worth the time or money. Clare Higgins was great I hope to hear her on better stories.

A lovely mystery with many interesting character insights
James Goss continues to delight with this Twelfth Doctor story. A well-woven tale with many mysteries layered upon one another. Looking forward to the next installment.

Nice little story
I liked it. A fun little story overall. Very descriptive! I loved the line " a fluffy ball of razors" to describe carrying the cat! The narrator did a good job with the voices especially the grouchy, sarcastic tones of the Doctor. I did NOT like the background sound effects. I found them very distracting. it would of been so much more enjoyable without the back ground noise!
