About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

A super Who story. I liked it, was as good as Dr gets. I loved the ending, but will not spoil it for other readers. It stood up to the great standard of Timelord experience.

And charming as Doctor Who stories are, I expected a bit more than a single TV episode storyline.

This was a pretty awesome book. I think fans should definitely read this.😊
