Book Description

Publication Date: 26 Dec 2007 | ISBN-10: 1846073480 | ISBN-13: 978-1846073489 | Edition: 1st edition

The old village well is just a curiosity - something to attract tourists intrigued by stories of lost treasure, or visitors just making a wish. Unless something alien and terrifying could be lurking inside the well? Something utterly monstrous that causes nothing but death and destruction?

But who knows the real truth about the well? Who wishes to unleash the hideous force it contains? What terrible consequences will follow the search for a legendary treasure hidden at the bottom?

No one wants to believe the Doctor's warnings about the deadly horror lying in wait - but soon they'll wish they had...

Featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit sci-fi series from BBC Television.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read.. 4 Jan 2008
By Alison Johnson
Format:Hardcover
Another good addition to the series of Doctor Who tie-in novels. The central mystery of the story is gripping and plays out well, keeping the reader intruiged. The supporting characters are well-drawn and, above all, the characterisation of the Doctor and Martha is good. Elements of the denouement are perhaps a little reminiscent of similar events in other recent Doctor Who novels such as Wetworld and The Feast of the Drowned but overall the story idea is interesting and well written. Overall, a very enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful what you wish for... 23 Mar 2009
By Captain Pugwash
Format:Hardcover
Trevor Baxendale's latest offering instantly took me back to those classic 70s and 80s Doctor Who stories such as: `The Stones of Blood', `The Android Invasion', `The Daemons' and `Terror of the Zygons'; which invariably involved the Timelord arriving in a small secluded village somewhere in England, only to uncover a malignant alien entity, whilst being aided by eccentric locals and hampered by belligerent Lords of the Manor. This gave the story a nostalgic quality for me, as well as imbuing it with cosiness and a familiarity that enabled me to quickly become immersed in the adventure. It could reasonably be argued that the characters and the monster are pretty generic, but this doesn't matter when they're all put together with such style. A great read and well worth getting hold of.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better ones in the series. 4 Aug 2010
By Mr. M. Jones
Format:Hardcover
After reading reviews I was a bit apprehensive about this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The first three quarters build up nicely, with an English village with toffs, madmen, restoration committees, family feuds and battered landrovers, together with some mysterious goings on in a tunnel and legends around the well. The characters are few, varied and interesting and the mystery about the inevitable monster builds nicely. Once the monster is revealed it goes into more usual territory for this series of running away, then confronting and attempts to outwit. Some of the better points form earlier, such as the developing relationships, get abandoned in the action. This is disappointing but I rather liked the monster. It is proper alien in looks, attitude and habits, and you don't even get to see all of it. The physics involved in the transmutation were a bit outlandish, but overall the book is one of the better ones in the series.
