Book description
Rose and the Doctor return to present-day Earth, and become intrigued
by the latest craze - the video game, Death to Mantodeans. Is it as
harmless as it seems? And why are so many local people going on
holiday and never returning? Meanwhile, on another world, an alien war
is raging. The Quevvils need to find a new means of attacking the
ruthless Mantodeans.
Searching the galaxy for cunning, warlike but gullible allies, they
find the ideal soldiers on Earth. Will Rose be able to save her family
and friends from the alien threat? And can the Doctor play the game to
the end and win?
Featuring the Ninth Doctor and Rose as played by Christopher
Eccleston and Billie Piper in the hit science fiction series from
