Book Description

22 April 2010 184607987X 978-1846079870 hardcover

'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, science fiction adventure featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television

5.0 out of 5 stars It is as good as the TV series... 30 May 2010
A Kid's Review
Format:Hardcover
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.

Also, try out these books:
"Doctor Who": Apollo 23
"Doctor Who": Night of the Humans
Doctor Who - Series 5, Volume 1 [DVD] [2010]
"Doctor Who": The Tardis Handbook
Doctor Who Matt Smith The Eleventh Doctor's Crash Figure Set

Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a Marmite book! 15 July 2010
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A mammoth problem for the Doctor 11 Jun 2013
By Paul Tapner TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
A Doctor Who novel, which tells an all new story for the Eleventh Doctor and Amy that hasn't been presented previously in any other medium.

The book runs for two hundred and forty eight pages, and is divided into a prologue and twenty three chapters.

It's suitable for readers of all ages.

The two lead characters are perfectly well characterised, with dialogue that you can imagine the two stars saying. Since this was one of the first batch of Eleventh Doctor novels, and written before his first episodes were aired, that's a good achievement.

The story sees a mammoth being exhibited at a museum in New York. Which happens to come to life. The Doctor and Amy get involved, and find this is just a prelude. To alien invasion. New York becomes a battlegound where the Doctor and Amy, plus a few friends, have a fight on their hands to save the human race.

This hits the ground running with the whole mammoth set piece, which takes up a good few opening pages and keeps them turning very nicely as the pace of the book doesn't let up for a moment. This, coupled with some good supporting characters, makes for a good opening.

The reader is still hooked after that, thanks to some nice continuity references and a few unanswered questions. When the main threat does come along a little suspension of disbelief is required, but there are enough surprises in regards to it to make the level of threat more than you might expect.

Whilst it gets into more standard territory for this range after that, with the Doctor and allies caught up in the middle of chaos trying desperately to save the day, the writing is strong enough to keep the attention all the way.

A very readable entry in this range.

There are some obvious influences here that are difficult to keep put of mind while reading. The first section is 'Night at the museum' where you follow a large animal, ridden by the heroes as it races around the museum after closing. After that come 'small soldiers' when the tiny army takes over with ingenuity and in this case speed. After that there are scenes in various locations where I guess it would be useful to know the locations, such as inside the Statue of Liberty. Although the use of the small soldiers with their time freeze was inventive and interesting, there was much that was illogical, such as how you can hollow out a robot and still have it function perfectly, and whether parents would let their young children out to wander around the war zone. Combined with Amy's character being bossy and always trying to prove she is best it began to get irritating.
