Agri-teams are growing new foodstuffs in the baking soil to help feed the worlds starving millions but the Doctor and Rose have detected an alien signal somewhere close by. When a nightmare force starts surging along the dark volcanic tunnels, the Doctor realises an ancient trap has been sprung. But who was it meant for? And what is the secret of the eerie statues that stand at the heart of the volcano? Dragged into a centuries-old conflict, Rose and the Doctor are soon elevating survival to an art form as ancient, alien hands practice arts of destruction all around them Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

Format:Hardcover
This 5th in the BBC's range of 10th Doctor novels does it's best to justify its medium by offering even more alien mayhem than the current TV series could afford to show on screen, as the Doctor and Rose land in near-future Africa and find themselves caught in the middle of an alien war. The African setting makes a nice change, and the book is certainly busy enough to keep younger readers interested, but older readers might find this a rather too arch, as the novel turns into an over the top battle between the Doctor and some unfortunately phallic worms. At best `The Art of Destruction' can be enjoyed as a tongue-in-cheek comedy romp, but it never quite gels together into anything more satisfying. A fun but very disposable read.
Format:Audio CD
Really good strong story read by the excellent don warrington. Excellent focus on biological piracy and exploitation of natural resources
Format:Hardcover
Not my favourite author, but I was delighted and surprised plenty of times! Aliens who were genuinely exotic, in shape, actions, motivations and technology, a plot with many different elements which kept you guessing who could be relied upon, interesting distinct characters and accurate doctor and Rose. Fun!

Another disappointment from Stephen Cole
Why do people employ this man to write? Aside from 'The Feast Of The Drowned' I've not read or heard a single decent story by this man. Read more

Great golems!
I loved this book. It's got lots of action, excitement and humour and the plot races along with all the twists you'd expect. Read more
