Series background & context

Time Trips is a set of short Doctor Who novellas designed to be read in one sitting, with each story focusing on a different incarnation of the Doctor. The range is built for variety: one entry might be spooky, the next funny, the next quietly weird.

Jenny Colgan’s Time Trips stories drop the Doctor into fresh settings and one-off mysteries, often with a strong sense of place and a slightly off-kilter mood.

You do not need deep continuity to enjoy them. Pick a Doctor you like, or read them in release order.
