Product Description

Product Description

India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos - a country torn apart by internal strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events. Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of 'half-made men', who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their eyes should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas 'Mahatma' Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours. What is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth? This title features the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Eastern Promise - a review of hardback AND audiobook as Amazon have listed them as the same item, 4 Jan 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Mark Morris has delivered another cracking story for the BBC range of original Tenth Doctor novels. Along with his companion Donna Noble, the Timelord finds himself at the centre of a series of mysterious events in post-war India.

This adventure is one of the slower ones in the series; however, Morris gradually builds up a sense of foreboding and intrigue which pays dividends once the forces behind the mystery are finally revealed. Although it is not as action-packed as some of its predecessors, Ghosts of India is a thoughtful and intelligent portrayal of life in a war-torn British colony which is about to be abandoned by its masters; add a famous historical figure, sinister alien interlopers and The Doctor and Donna's feisty relationship, and you have a gripping story for all ages.

Now that The Eleventh Doctor - to be played by Matt Smith - has been unveiled, it will be fascinating to see how he is portrayed in the BBC books, and exciting that Doctor Who will most definitely return...

The audiobook, read by David Troughton (son of Second Doctor Patrick), is abridged but still cohesive; Troughton does a mean David Tennant/Tenth Doctor impression and the story flows well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best so far, 28 Oct 2009
By Fran Ohmsford (Cannock, Staffordshire) - See all my reviews

I've been a massive fan of Doctor Who for almost thirty years now and have enjoyed many of the myriad of novels since the original series ended though definitely not all.
Of the novels following the new series I sincerely believe this to be the best I've come across. I cannot give it 5 stars as like all the new series novels it's a bit too simplistic but it definitely rates a high 4.
