Product Description

Product Description

On a lonely stretch of Welsh coastline a fisherman is killed by a hideous creature from beneath the waves. When the Doctor and Rose arrive, they discover a village where the children are plagued by nightmares, and the nights are ruled by monsters. The villagers suspect that ancient industrialist Nathanial Morton is to blame, but the Doctor has suspicions of his own. Who are the ancient figures that sleep in the old priory? What are the monsters that prowl the woods after sunset? What is the light that glows in the disused lighthouse on Black Island? As the children's nightmares get worse, The Doctor and Rose discover an alien plot to resurrect an ancient evil...Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Doctor battles monsters in Wales, 3 Oct 2006
By P. N. Hussey "pnh77" (Haywards Heath, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a very entertaining, albeit brief, read, full of the usual quips we are used to from the television series. Mike Tucker has perfectly captured the character of the Doctor and Rose in his novel and rattles along the story at a cracking pace so it very much feels like an episode from the tv show. It has some creepy moments but all in all is perfect for all fans of the show.

4.0 out of 5 stars pleasant dreams, 28 Sep 2006
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Mike Tucker has written several doctor who novels in the past, but they all featured ace and the seventh doctor. This is his first go at another tardis crew.

You know what you're going to get with this range of books. They're not going to be great literature or novels in their own right, they are going to be a doctor who story on the printed page that could - if the BBC would increase the budget - be done on the TV screen. And they will stand or fail on how well the writer depicts the tardis crew.

The second batch of ninth doctor books were helped by the writers having seen the doctor in action on the tv screen, given that the first were written before they'd had a chance to. The same seems to have been true with the tenth doctor. And thus, having seen what he's like, the writer does capture the character very well. The same is true of rose.

The plot is a curious beast. Starting out with a wonderfully scary encounter between a rain soaked fisherman and a monster, and giving us spooky chases through dark woods and villages full of frightened people, it doesn't quite make the most of all of this. And indeed not a lot of the book actually takes place on black island!

But for every part of the plot that feels over familiar, there are bits that are quite clever and fresh.

So this isn't a great piece of literature, but it's a good solid bit of literary doctor who, and generally worth your time
