I got this collection mainly because it had the only Erimem story I had not otherwise read or listened to – “The Gangster’s Story”, by Jon de Burgh Miller. I was not bowled over by it, or indeed by many of the other stories in the collection, which is built around a theme of people whose survival affects the Web of Time and who are therefore removed from history by the Doctor – completely un-Doctorish behaviour, it seemed to me. I did rather like Kathryn Sullivan’s “The Diplomat’s Story”, but otherwise you can give this one a miss.
