Mad Norwegian Update

Mad Norwegian Press has posted details of two forthcoming books due out soon. AHistory: An Unauthorized History of Doctor Who is Lance Parkin's update of his original Doctor Who history book, formally stated as covering the whole of the "Doctor Who" TV series up through the 2005 season starring Christopher Eccleston; the Virgin and BBC Books up through "The Gallifrey Chronicles"; all of the Telos novellas; the Big Finish "Doctor Who" audio range up through "Terror Firma." About Time: Volume 1 by Tat Wood and Lawrence Miles covers seasons 1 to 3 of the series, "focusing on the William Hartnell era of 'Doctor Who' in mind-bending detail. In addition to the usual concerns such as the TV show’s continuity (alien races, the Doctor’s abilities, etc.) and lore (anecdotal, "Did You Know?"-style material), authors Lawrence Miles and Tat Wood will examine each Hartnell story in the context of the year/historical period it was produced, determining just how topical the stories were." The cover illustrations for each are below; click on each thumbnail for a larger version.
