Plot Synopsis:


Yes, from what you can see in the cover it's another fantastic adventure featuring the 11th Doctor played by Matt Smith in the BBC series! :D unfortunately/fortunately he doesn't have Amy, Rory, Lady Vastra, Clara or any of his usual companions with him, which would've been nice since that's when we usually see his funny and eccentric side. But his having a companion is a nice break from the show.

If you don't know who the Doctor is (Come onnnn, go and watch it NOOOW! :D ) He's this time-travelling sociopath-like Time Lord who travels through time and space in a big blue police box called that T.A.R.D.I.S. that's bigger on the inside than in the outside. He also likes to meddle in people's crap.

Here you'll see more of the Doctor's toned-down (yet still wacky), less hyper-y-not-really personality, there weren't a lot of his iconic weird-ass parts that you see in the show but eh, but his protective, caring side also shows as he tries to protect a bunch of children from a crashing ship and police custody which really makes you go "Awwwwwwwwww".

Certainly fast paced and you can really imagine this being an episode with David Tennant or Matt Smith during the latest seasons, would've been nice if the author added some ambiguity in describing things like the Daleks or the Doctor or the TARDIS even though we know exactly what and who they are, kind of like some kind of novelty in the writing style, eh?

A very ancient monument in a cruel planet whose use is unknown: destruction, or creation? Daleks running planets preceding to be good, and the Doctor just "happens" to land in said planet with the monument, and really? Daleks running worlds and doing good? Sorry, still can't get over that.

Plays out very well, could even be an episode in Doctor Who! The pacing and action and eccentricity is similar to the show and it shows us all the good morals in the show. Like the fact that all your liked characters die and it basically becomes an emotional roller coaster. Very Doctor Who. So Get this book while you wait for series 9 this September, because all I can say is: "You can't have too many Daleks, eh?"

In the control room of the ship, the Doctor was screaming. The Ship was vibrating like it was the end of the world, every circuit seems to be blowing and everything not welded to the spot was rattling, crashing and smashing to the deck. 

"Geeeerrronimooooooooooo!”
