Product Description

Product Description

Freema Agyeman reads this gripping story of a lost ship, a time loop and dangerous pirates. The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental drive? The Doctor is skittish, but if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves...Soon the Doctor learns the awful truth. And Martha learns that you need to be careful what you wish for. She certainly wasn't hoping for mayhem, death, and badger-faced space pirates. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intergalactic Jolly Rogering!, 2 Mar 2008
By R. A. Stradling "Rob Stradling" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Pirate Loop (New Series Adventure 20) (Hardcover)
A straightforward comic space opera for young and old. Kids will love the humour and easily identifiable characters; adults will appreciate the joie-de-vivre of it all. Guerrier tells his audience a simple parable of emancipation and redemption, while mucking around with pink ray-guns, space badgers, and quantum scrambled egg - and for the "Doctor Who" fans, he gets the regular characters spot-on, particularly the it's-cool-to-be-clever Martha Jones. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Or: The Murder of Martha Jones, 21 Mar 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Pirate Loop (New Series Adventure 20) (Hardcover)
Simon Guerrier is one of Doctor Who's sharpest and most engaging novelists. His latest book treads a fine line between comedy (Badger-faced pirates with Hampshire accents!) and tragedy; pulling this tricky feat off impressively.
The time-travellers arrive on an unnamed spaceship and are promptly confronted with a group of crewmen...who have no mouths. They soon discover that the eponymous pirates are in the process of invading the ship, and are systematically slaughtering the passengers and robotic deck crew - who come back to life miraculously minutes later. Meanwhile, a group of impossibly beautiful humanoid officers study their monitors on the flight deck; all of these areas of the ship being separated by impenetrable barriers. Of course, The Doctor swiftly sets about penetrating them with the aid of his trusty sonic screwdriver, and soon discovers they are trapped in a temporal loop...
The story is pretty straightforward, with just a little mildly confusing `timey-wimey' stuff in it. Guerrier's prose is lively and accessible, and he has a knack of creating memorable characters; not least the morally ambiguous pirates and the protocol-obsessed droid Gabriel. One of the best in the range, I highly recommend you read this: With a `ho ho ho' and a bottle of...well you get the picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars the pirate loop, 27 Jan 2008
By S. smith - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Pirate Loop (New Series Adventure 20) (Hardcover)
This is probably the funniest Doctor Who that I have read to date (and I have read most of them). Admittedly it is cheesy and corny in places but it all ties in with the humor which is rhythmic thoughout.
