This is a fun addition to the series featuring Doctor Who's Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Although it costs 99p on the Kindle Store, you can get the e-book free as a PDF from the publisher's website here.
The Ambush: A short story originally published in Doctor Who Magazine which explains the moments before Lethbridge-Stewart's very first Doctor Who appearance in The Web of Fear. It's nothing hugely special but it is a nice little extension of a wonderful TV story.
We Won't Let him Down: An extended edition of a chapter from Companions focussing on the Brigadier. It's essentially a run down of his TV appearances and I suspect most people reading the book won't get much from this, but it is a useful addition for newer fans.
What Lies Beyond: A quick look at some novels featuring the Brigadier. It's basically just a further reading list.
Graeme Harper: An interview with the only man to direct both Classic and New Who who directed Nicholas Courtney a number of times during his career. It's an affectionate little interview that only makes you wish that Courtney was still alive for more.
Original Prelude: This was originally going to be the opening to The Forgotten Son. It is set much more recently, in the Brigadier's last few weeks of life and explains where the stories in the series come from. I really liked it.
The New World: The opening chapter of The Forgotten Son. I've yet to read that book but this is very promising, continuing Lethbridge-Stewart's story on from the end of The Web of Fear.
All in all, a pretty decent collection considering you can get it for free and makes me eager to read the first in the series.
