Doctor Who: Engines of War - George Mann

Engines of War follows the Doctor through a period of the Time War. The War Doctor crashes on Moldox and meets Cinder. Cinder becomes his companion as she learns to hope and the Doctor looks for an end to the Daleks' plan without casualties. The story takes place on both Moldox and Gallifrey.

Upsides
The War Doctor on Gallifrey and his interactions with other Timelords
Cinder (a pity she is a single story companion)
The consistency in the WHO universe

Downsides
Since the War Doctor's TARDIS interior was not established on the show I had a hard time picturing it
He claims the name Doctor doesn't suit him now but offers no alternative
(how cool would it be if he said "I was called the Doctor but now I go by Greg" and Cinder tries to call him Greg while the Timelords call him Doctor)
