For centuries the Maintainers 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 Season Feast 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...

Really really liked this one - without doubt the best Eleventh Doctor book I've read yet. Granted, there are several I've yet to read, but there was really very little to not like about this one for me.I've not made a secret about not being happy with the last few years of Doctor Who on TV - I don't mind Matt Smith as Eleven, and Amy & Rory were always likeable enough, but I didn't care for the season arcs, or for the entire River plot, or, well, basically anything. I gave up mid-season sixAfter years of watching the TV show, I finally decided to pick up one of the Doctor Who books, and I absolutely loved it!The plot moves a bit slower than a typical DW episode, prioritizing detail over action. Don't get me wrong - it's still very engrossing - but it takes the time to fully flesh out the world and characters in a way the TV show doesn't have time to do. The world in which the story takes place, one of Earth's colony planets in the distant future, is very intricate, complete with a
The TARDIS takes a wrong turn on the way to Leadworth to drop the Ponds off for Christmas and The Doctor, Amy, and Rory find themselves on a far flung colony world that is in the grips of the worst winter the world has ever seen. But what's causing the hellish weather? And what's killing the livestock? And can the Doctor and the Ponds get to the bottom of things before it's too late?Of course they can! After all, he's The Doctor.In the wake of the announcement of the actor playing the Twelfth
O little town of bethlehemHow still we see thee lieAbove thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go byYet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting LightThe hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight The Doctor and his two companions, the Williams Ponds, go searching for Christmas, toppling, instead, into a mess between the people of Hereafter and a load of strange, green behemoths. What has the Doctor gotten them into now? This is the last in the 50th anniversary
I have been a fan of Doctor Who for several years now. I've been aware of the good Doctor since early eighties, when, as an impressionable youth, I happened to catch a few Tom Baker repeats on PBS, but I never became a true fan until I happened to run across the entire season five (of the new series) on BBC America On Demand. These episodes starred Mat Smith as the eleventh Doctor, and I was immediately drawn in by his madcap energy and enthusiasm. This youthful madman of a Doctor was not quite
DNFI won't bother to put a rating on this book because I never got into it. I am a classic Doctor Who fan. I will be honest, I don't really care for the New Series. I began to loose interest during series 5 and ever since, I've always been hit and miss. I like the 12th doctor but his era and stories have been on the mixed side. The show needs to do some big changes, which it has because I think it's on the verge of dying and perhaps leading to cancellation. Nobody can argue to the point that
This was probably the best Doctor Who book I've read featuring Eleven, the start of it is a little slow and it seems kind of ho-hum. But from the middle till the end it's pretty wild and there's some awesome surprises in there. Basic break down goes like this: Characterization is okayThe dialog seems too eager to imitate the show to the point that sometimes they come off looking more like caricatures. Rory, though, is pretty spot on. The plot and the ideas presented in the book are the best
