Book description
For centuries the Morphans have worked. With no help from other
worlds, they subsist on the food they can grow and that's little
enough. But their purpose, their whole life is to maintain the
machines that will one day make their world as habitable as old Earth.
Life used to be hard. Now as their crops fail, livestock sickens,
and the temperature drops, it's becoming impossible. This year's
winter festival won't be the usual celebration. It's not a time for
optimism or hope - and it's not a time to welcome unexpected guests.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory find a society breaking apart under the
strain. Tensions are mounting, old rivalries are coming to the fore,
people are dying...
And then the Doctor's old enemies the Ice Warriors make their move.
With the cold-hearted threat of invasion, the real battle for survival
begins. Or does it? The Doctor begins to suspect that behind
everything lies a deadlier, and even more chilling danger...
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and
Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in
the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.
