Book Description
An alien army emerges from the frozen wastes to enslave the populace of 21st century New York
Product Description
'Let me tell you a story. Long ago, in the frozen Arctic wastes, an alien army landed. Only now, 10,000 years later, it isn't a story. And the army is ready to attack.'
New York - one of the greatest cities on 21st century Earth... But what's going on in the Museum? And is that really a Woolly Mammoth rampaging down Broadway? An ordinary day becomes a time of terror, as the Doctor and Amy meet a new and deadly enemy. The vicious Army of the Vykoid are armed to the teeth and determined to enslave the human race. Even though they're only seven centimetres high.
With the Vykoid army swarming across Manhattan and sealing it from the world with a powerful alien force field, Amy has just 24 hours to find the Doctor and save the city. If she doesn't, the people of Manhattan will be taken to work in the doomed asteroid mines of the Vykoid home planet. But as time starts to run out, who can she trust? And how far will she have to go to free New York from the Forgotten Army?
A thrilling, all new adventure featuring the Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television

This book has lots of plot twists, funny moments, and it captures the Doctor and Amy Pond very well. It even takes things from the TV series - the Doctor saying "bow ties are cool", him calling Amy "Pond", references to meeting Amy as a child in 1996, references to The Eleventh Hour, shouting Geronimo...the list goes on. Anyone who likes the TV series should get this book. It makes a great read between episodes and series.

Format:Hardcover
This book is insanely silly, brilliantly characterised, fast-moving and utterly divisive. To my mind this is by far the best of the three 11th Doctor books released so far. I accept, though, that many people will find it TOO silly, TOO mad, TOO rampantly daft to suspend your disbelief.
That's the Marmite effect.
It's also got the target audience in raptures. The one thing missing from the new season of Doctor Who on TV was an acknowledgement that children will be watching in their millions. It's all been a bit 'mature'. "The Forgotten Army" changes all that and reminds me why I loved the programme as a 10 year old boy in the first place!
Get reading everyone, and enjoy being 10 again!

It should have been the greatest day in Sam Horwitz's life. He was about to reveal the New York Natural History Museum's latest exhibit to the world: a Polar Woolly Mammoth. But this perfectly preserved specimen from a species thought to be extinct for 10,000 years suddenly begins to show disturbing signs of life.
Brian Minchin's first `Doctor Who' novel is an exciting romp with some nice comedy villains in the Vykoids. I say comedy villains because these bad boys are only seven centimetres tall. However, their tenacity and technological expertise make for tricky adversaries for the Doctor and Amy as the diminutive invaders take control of the city.
At times, I felt that the events taking place in this story veered toward the ridiculous, but there is a neat plot twist that explains how the Vykoids are able to do what they do. The characterisations of the Doctor and Amy are excellent, but I thought their introduction to New York was a little cumbersome with the Doctor spouting some nonsense about burgers and some people really being aliens. No doubt this was intended to add some humour to the book's opening, but I don't think it worked particularly well.
Overall, `The Forgotten Army' is a good read and once the story's main thrust kicks in, it keeps you entertained and turning the pages.
