Watched The Space Museum the other night and it slaps so hard. Love the dynamic between Hartnell's Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki. Love seeing the show go all in on anti-colonialism. Some of the world building stuff didn't make sense (Xerons had a bit of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" energy) but I just had a great time watching it.

It was Warring States, a Faction Paradox novel. Two women on opposite sides of the Chinese Boxer Rebellion investigating a mystery that gradually brings them together. I won't give away the ending. It's a good book. Tied with Of The City Of The Saved for my favourite Faction Paradox books.

Faction Paradox is Doctor Who with the serial numbers filed off so some of the novel writers could take Who in a darker direction the BBC didn't want to go at the time. It fits in nicely with the rebooted series, though.

Never read any of those but they sound cool as hell.
