Book description
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose
are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the
TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south
coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much
happens. Until now...
An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa AD 70,
depicting mythical scenes, grapes and a Dalek. A few days later a
young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus,
then comes back to life.
It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose
must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy and a
not-quite-alien accomplice who are intent on destroying humanity.
Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and
Billie Piper in the hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.
Gareth Roberts has written seven Classic Doctor Who novels, together
with tv scripts for Emmerdale, Brookside, Randall & Hopkirk
(Deceased), Swiss Toni and His and Hers. He now writes for the Doctor
Who and Sarah Jane Adventures television series, including the Doctor
Who episodes The Shakespeare Code (2007) and The Unicorn and the Wasp
(2008).
