Product Description

Product Description

For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the world telling people stories about the Doctor - how he has saved them before, and how he will save them again. This is that story. It tells of Martha's travels - from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. But it's more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells - the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven't heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world!


From the Publisher

The full story of Martha Jones' 'lost year' helping defeat the Master - the latest in the bestselling Doctor Who fiction range from BBC Books

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 9 Jan 2009
By Mr. J. R. Trinder "jrtrinder37" (Canterbury) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I was very exited when I heard this book was coming out, the 'year that never was' is something that was only really hinted about in the final episode of the third series of Doctor Who in 2007. It's the story of how Martha Jones travelled the world under the radar of the Master and spread the word of the Doctor. This book is described as being the 'full story of Martha's lost year' but it isn't.
Really this book is just bits of stories about Martha travelling around and meeting the odd person and telling a story about the Doctor. The stories themselves are not really that interesting and the story of Martha's journey briefly mentions the most important parts of the missing year.
In the final of series 3, Martha mentions the ruins of New York (which is not even mentioned) and the islands of Japan on fire. This is in the book but instead of having an interesting story about the insanity of the Master and his disregard of human life, there is a very poor story about some economical invading aliens. After this the whole destruction of Japan is covered in a paragraph.
What I really wanted from this book was a dark thriller about Martha and the Master, where she travelled and her witnessing the Master destroy New York, create the nuclear pits of Europe and burn Japan for fun. But instead there is some stories about the Doctor strung together with a tale or Martha arriving in a new place in the world. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic addition to the canonical story, 25 Feb 2009
I really enjoyed this book, enough to read it twice in quick succession. This is all the more impressive as I really don't particularly like the character of Martha Jones and would mark her lowest of the "new Who" companions.
Starting and ending with Martha's arrival back in Britain, different segments of the story have been written by different authors and I think this is a strength. I found it really interesting to fill in some of the gaps of her year abroad whilst the Master ruled and was particularly gripped by her visit to Japan. Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly Dark, 3 Feb 2009
By D. Brown "D.M.H" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book, I think it's unlike many of the New Series novels, and the reason it's not been recieved as ultimatley fantastic is that it's so different to the other novels that its unnerving at times. There hasn't really been a novel that has relied on continuity so much, and a novel that has the abillity to end on a dark note because we all ready know the ending.
I say by all means get this book because it's pretty fantastic (admittedly I enjoyed the actual story of martha rather than the stories she tells the prisoners of earth) Plus it makes watching Last Of The Timelords 10 x Better and more intense!
