I have been trying to find which Doctor Who books have first person narratives. So far I have found Doctor Who and the Daleks (Ian), The Mythmakers (Homer) and The Day of the Doctor (multiple) Are there others? Help appreciated

From the Target Range, the Donald Cotton ones are framed as historical documents in the form of letters, diaries etc. the Twefth Doctor novel The Blood Cell is presented from the POV of a prison governor.

Off the top of my head... 
- Jim Mortimore's Eye of Heaven has deep first person POV with Leela.
- Mortimore's Campaign also does an homage to Doctor Who and the Daleks with Ian and other characters.
- Eternity Weeps as well.
- Kate Orman's Blue Box is told from the perspective of a guest character called Chick, who authored the in-universe book.
- Andy Lane's All-Consuming Fire counts for the sections from Watson's perspective in Doyle's style.
It wasn't an uncommon method of storytelling for the Telos novellas with multiple first-person narratives in:
- Daniel O'Mahoney's The Cabinet of Light
- Iain McLaughlin's Blood and Hope
- Simon A. Forward's Shell Shock
- Kim Newman's Time and Relative
...And most probably a few others in that range? They've been a bit difficult to track down.

Scratchman. Told, wonderfully I may add, from the POV of the 4th Doctor.

I also highly recommend "Scratchman", especially the audiobook version. Does not get better than that!

Who Killed Kennedy is also first person.

From the Target Range, the Donald Cotton ones are framed as historical documents in the form of letters, diaries etc. No, that's only true of The Romans. The Myth Makers and The Gunfighters are both related orally by one person. |
