5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful collection of stories for fans of Doctor Who
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
Three very different stories make up the collection in the anthology. I own each story separately on Kindle, but when I saw they had been published together in paperback, I had to have a copy for myself. I'm glad, because there is a forward by Amelia Williams that ties she and Rory to another "traveler/friend"; and there is also an afterward in the form of an interview with Amelia and Rory several years after they had come to the states. Of course, no where in the five pieces is there a direct mention of The Doctor as it is up to us, the reader to claim follow that thread that binds all of these characters into his universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stranger than Fictional Characters writing fiction: A Review of Doctor Who: Summer Falls and Other Stories
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
I saw a copy of this at my local big box bookstore and decided I didn’t want it because we weren’t yet caught up with the show. However, when Kindle offered it as one of their daily deals, I picked it up because I knew I would be reading it at some point–I LOVE that sometimes Amazon’s daily offers just get me.

Amelia Pond, best known as Amy Pond (the girl who waited) from the Who franchise serves up a trio of short stories that make their way as a book into the series (okay, so Justin Williams actually writes the book, but really, that’s just in this timeline). From a small village in England whose summer is ended abruptly to Melody Malone investigating the Angels in Manhattan to a tale including Strax, Madame Vastra and Jenny, Summer Falls and Other Stories does not disappoint Whovians of any age.

Summer Falls is a story in which we can see Amy Pond (as a child)–her name is Kate, but the story is completely based on Amy’s childhood. She is entrusted to solve a mystery and save the town she and her mother just moved to, but there are darker, colder forces at play and Kate will need all her wits about her to save the town from eternal winter.

The Angel’s Kiss is a thinly-veiled River Song story. In fact, the doctor and River use it within an episode of the series in order to solve a mystery, themselves. The setting is in Manhattan, and features the Weeping Angels, which happen to be one of my favorite Who villains of all time. I especially like that they stuck to the timeline within the episode. However, there are two important chapters that are missing (where the titles were just read) and I think longtime fans will know what I’m talking about.

Devil in the Smoke: An Adventure for the Great Detective is the final novella in this grouping, and features Madame Vastra (the Great Detective), Strax and Jenny in victorian-esque London. Two boys stumble upon a snowman that bleeds human blood and set forth a mystery to the likes which Vastra has never seen. And longtime fans will definitely appreciate the way she works the case, along with Strax and Jenny.

I liked this book a lot more than I thought I might, and I think it was the perfect read for this dreary week in California. The best books are always read curled up under a blanket in the midst of weather.

You can get a copy of this book for yourself in paperback and ebook formats–the stories, themselves are available individually in ebook format from your favorite retailer.

I initially thought the Melody Malone story would be the actual story from the episode complete with the bits we saw in the show. I won't lie that I was disappointed it wasn't. HOWEVER, the three stories included here great. If you love Who, you'll love this. I especially loved the third story featuring Strax. He is hilarious. Plus there's a really cool intro from Amy and a interview with her at the end that's just delightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done side bars to Doctor Who
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013

If you are not a Doctor Who fan, this will mean nothing to you. If you are a Whovian, however, this is absolutely necessary. Three separate stories, each tied to an episode of Doctor Who and including River Song (Melody Pond or Melody Malone) There is also a preface that is as heart rending as the afterward shown in "The Angels Take Manhattan" and a final interview with Amelia Williams and her husband Rory. Since I am a devoted Whovian, this was a wonderful read. I cannot recommend highly enough.

My only complaint was that I thought the last story was an excerpt from the next in a series...I want MORE of these! I love the way known characters behave & "speak" in character. The story with Vastra, Jenny & Strax was like reading an episode. Overall a light, fun read. It's Doctor Who - what more could you ask for?

For fans of the Ponds and the Paternoster trio, you are going to love this one. The later stories are actually better than the title story, especially the one with Vastra and co.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure without The Doctor, but inspired by him.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
Good stories about adventure without The Doctor, but inspired by him.
(When) Summer falls (the Lord of Winter will arise...) tells the story of Kate who has a cold adventure in her last week (of the summerbreak) before school starts again. Without any help of an adult (except the curator) or Armand and Milo, she alone has to solve the mystery of an old painting to get back to her warm seaside village.
In The Angel's kiss Melody Malone (Pond) is a detective specialised in special cases. This case has a movie star and a weeping angel.
In The devil in the smoke we meet our Victorian trio of The great detective of Paternoster Row again. This time they have to deal with a snowman, a murder and mysterious smoke. The London fogg will never be the same again. While Vastra and Jenny try to solve this mystery, Strax is being his Sontaran self. Exceting and funny, like the Doctor Who series itself.
