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.

Format:Audio CD
So. Badger space pirates...hmmmm. But, you'll have to take my word for it, it works. My expectations dropped through the floor after listening to the first twenty minutes but they were soon boosted my some classic devices - tantalising clues to what might be happening, mighty risk taking, pseudo-science, moral dilemma, social comment and, of course, moments of high silliness. All ingredients of great Who.

Format: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!
Format:Hardcover
The premise and some details are a bit silly - pretend pirates, a timespace barrier of scrambled egg, the enemy leader being the only one with authority, but the story and its twists are intriguing, especially the deaths. There are very few locations too, all finely described, which is an advantage to following the action and incidents.
Written partly in two time streams, which can be briefly confusing and a bit irritating, it all comes together for a happy ending, though I still don't know how the engineers drink the milkshakes.

What a shame: poorly executed and with no characterisation
I have always enjoyed the Doctor Who genre, and some of the most recent books have been incredibly inventive with ideas and plot to please everyone. Read more

The characters seem so huggable
This book is in a very similar style to the other recent Doctor Who novels which I have read - clearly aimed at a younger audience, straying not far from simple language and simple... Read more

This is my first Dr Who book (I always wait until they're twenty or more into a series run before hopping aboard), and a very enjoyable lark it is, too. Read more

Rollicking good fun. The Doctor's abstracted, twinkly personality is particularly nicely drawn. I couldn't help thinking Harry Hill would turn up as the badger pirate-in-chief, and... Read more

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... Read more
