Story
The Jubilee Tides will drown the continents of the planet Miranda beneath the weight of her own oceans. But as the once-in-two-centuries cataclysm approaches, an even greater catastrophe threatens this dark and dangerous planet of tale-spinners, conjurers, and shapechangers. From author Michael Swanwick—one of the most brilliantly assured and darkly inventive writers of contemporary fiction—comes a masterwork of radically altered realities and world-shattering seductions.

Story
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions - until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself - first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it - stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

Years later, Kara and her little brother, Taff, are still shunned by the people of their village, who believe that nothing is more evil than magic…except, perhaps, the mysterious forest that covers nearly the entire island. It has many names, this place. Sometimes it is called the Dark Wood, or Sordyr's Realm. But mostly it's called the Thickety.

A fun Doctor Who sampler
What did you love best about Doctor Who: 12 Doctors 12 Stories?
Each story caught the personality of each of the doctors very well and each short story is well written.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Doctor.... what a silly question. Each regeneration of the Doctor is well represented and feels like the adventures belong wedged in between episodes of the show.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
I liked all of the narrators and they all did quality work, however, I feel I need to give Nicholas Briggs special mention. His story worked so wonderfully with his voice and narration style that is was just a treat to listen to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would try, but it was too long for such a thing.
Any additional comments?
Very fun and recommended for anyone wanting to explore Doctor beyond the version they're familiar with.

Nice collection of stories.
I'm not good at reviews, but I can say with certainty that this set is worth listening to. I enjoyed every story. The only way it could have been better is if it had been read by the actors.

Needs more Doctor and less American accents.
Entertaining, but the 5th Doctor's story was the weakest, he was barely in it. Also wish less stories took place in America because the narrator's trying to do American accents is pretty bad.

Loved it
Over all, I really enjoyed it. Felt like they really captured the various personalities of the different doctors. Favourite stories would have to be 5, 10 and 12. The only thing I didn't like was that it had to end. Hopefully they do another one!

Overall a great collection with some misses
I got this on sale and don’t regret the purchase. Some of the stories are quite strong and some are misses. Some of the reading is quite strong and some are misses. Sometimes you’ll suffer an ok reading because the story is good.
If you liked the old series this is an OK buy. The fourth doctor sorry was good but forced in places. The first was not well done but it wasn’t the worst of the lot. That honor goes to story 7. I couldn’t finish it.
If you liked the new Who and wanted to see what the other doctors were like skip this and go to Big Finish where they narrate their own adventures whose writing are far better.

Good diversion
As a way of re-experiencing the many Doctors, the book is great. As an introduction to the Doctor Who universe, I think it's less effective: a Doctor Who novitiate would be better served, in my opinion, by focusing first on a few adventures involving a single Doctor before branching out.
The stories here are somewhat uneven, as are the narrators. The ones that were most resonant for me were the ones for the 11th and 12th Doctors (stories by Neil Gaiman and Holly Black). My least favorite was the one for the first Doctor: I just can't picture William Hartnell with a prosthetic hand. Still, if you're already a Doctor Who fan and want to spend 12 hours being entertained, this will fit the bill nicely.

Almost as good as the show
I am glad I got this book. The voice acting was really good. At times they got the voice of the Doctor just right. The stories capture the different personalities of the Doctor and his companions perfectly. The stories are fun and engaging. There was only one story that I had issues with and that was because it kept talking about a companion that I didn't like that much.
