About this eBook

"I blame those new Brainy Crisps. Since he started eating them, he's been too clever by half."

Can eating a bag of crisps really make you more clever? The company that makes the crisps says so, and they seem to be right.

But the Doctor is worried. Who would want to make people more brainy? And why?

With just his sonic screwdriver and a supermarket trolley full of crisps, the Doctor sets out to find the truth. The answer is scary - the Krillitanes are back on Earth, and everyone is at risk!

Last time they took over a school. This time they have hijacked the internet. Whatever they are up to, it's big and it's nasty.

Only the Doctor can stop them - if he isn't already too late...

A short, sharp shot of adventure, featuring the Doctor as played by David Tennant in the hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.

Ratings and reviews

This book, was dumb. I mean dumb even by Doctor Who standards. I mean dumber than the Two Doctors. The tenth Doctor was boring in this book, and it tried to tell a big plot within a too short book. Which is the big problem with the modern series, too much content, in a too short episode. The writing was also boring. In conclusion, this book was too dumb, and too short.

I thought it was creative, not quite the top notch I expect from this author but it was very good! I enjoyed it very much, first time I read a book in a few hours actually.

More a short story than a book really. Decent way to get through an hour at work though.
