The fourth in this highly successful series of short story collections. This collection follows the family history of the Forresters, one of the Doctor's most popular New Adventure companions.
This is the first Doctor Who anthology without any mention of the Doctor: ten stories exploring the family history of Roz Forrester, a companion from the Seventh Doctor spinoff books (I have read only one which features her). The concept is of telling the story of ten Forrester ancestors, direct or collateral, over a thousand year period starting in the twentieth century; I was a bit surprised that the framing historical narrative, having gone in the standard space opera planet-colonisation direction for most of the book, then contracts back down to a declining and dying Earth (and the Forresters' Xhosa background) for the last two stories, and didn't quite understand why. But none of the stories is bad; I particularly enjoyed Ben Jeapes' 'Heritage', which put an original twist on the generation starship theme. ( )
