Description
In the far future, the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack find a world on which fiction has been outlawed. A world where it's a crime to tell stories, a crime to lie, a crime to hope, and a crime to dream. But now somebody is challenging the status quo. A pirate TV station urges people to fight back. And the Doctor wants to help until he sees how easily dreams can turn into nightmares. With one of his companions stalked by shadows and the other committed to an asylum, the Doctor is forced to admit that fiction can be dangerous after all. Though perhaps it is not as deadly as the truth.
Featuring the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston, together with Rose and Captain Jack as played by Billie Piper and John Barrowman in the hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.
Reviews
Fantastic!
5By HawktalonOfRiverClanPuns aside, this book was incredible. I do wish there had been a few more chapters from the Doctor's perspective, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. This novel created the perfect twisted distopian society, then took what was familiar and turned it upside down. It was perfectly written, and I can totally see this being an actual hour-long TV episode, perhaps even a two-parter. I would definitely watch it if that happened (which I know never will, sadly.) And the author even imbedded a "Bad Wolf." Any Whovian would love this book, but I don't think that you would have to know Doctor Who to like it since it's so well done.Unbelievable
5By BROWNEE137This book is so well-thought out and well-written that it’s impossible! I’ve read hundreds of books, but this is the only one that’s been so good it actually managed to scare me a little.
