Once, a policeman, tasked with maintaining order through the galaxy.
Once, a traveler through space and time, righting wrongs with his friends.
Now – an operative for powers far beyond humanity’s comprehension. A soldier in cosmic games, trying to obey the commands of his Superiors, but facing, time and again, heartbreak and sacrifice. Far from everything and everyone he once cared about, and drifting through an infinity of wars, conspiracies and betrayals…
These are his stories – tales of unlikely allies, of doomed loved affairs and of wild interventions in Earth’s history. From battlefields to cozy meetings with adventuress Iris Wildthyme: a chronicle of a man split down the middle. Cwej: Down The Middle is an officially-licensed anthology continuing the adventures of the character created for the Virgin New Adventures book line, featuring contributions from Doctor Who writers Andy Lane (Original Sin, All-Consuming Fire, A Thousand Tiny Wings) and Simon Bucher-Jones (The Death of Art, The Taking of Planet 5), alongside a vast panel of new and diverse talents.
Collective Unconscious by Michael Robertson Haven't read Freud in a while so, I'll be honest, not sure what the massive bugs are supposed to represent. A decent introduction to the Cwej series which has a very dreamlike feel.
A wonderful continuation of the story of Chris Cwej and a collection that any fan of Doctor Who (or, indeed, time-travel sci-fi in general) is sure to enjoy. Because of the sheer variety of stories featured, there's something (plenty of things, most likely) for everyone, so I'd recommend this anthology to just about anyone.
