Product Description

Product Description

The TARDIS lands in 22nd century Africa in the shadow of a dormant volcano. Agri-teams are growing new foodstuffs in the baking soil to help feed the world's starving millions - but the Doctor and Rose have detected an alien signal somewhere close by. When a nightmare force starts surging along the dark volcanic tunnels, the Doctor realises an ancient trap has been sprung. But who was it meant for? And what is the secret of the eerie statues that stand at the heart of the volcano? Dragged into a centuries-old conflict, Rose and the Doctor are soon elevating survival to an art form - as ancient, alien hands practice arts of destruction all around them. This work features the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great golems!, 4 Dec 2006
By Lauren Daniels (Leicestershire) - See all my reviews
I loved this book. It's got lots of action, excitement and humour and the plot races along with all the twists you'd expect. Stephen Cole manages to capture the Doctor and Rose perfectly. It's a great book for adults or kids. I couldn't put it down and definitely think they should put Faltato on TV! An awesome read for all fans!

1.0 out of 5 stars Another disappointment from Stephen Cole, 5 Aug 2007
By Mr. D. Harris "duncle" (Bath, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Why do people employ this man to write? Aside from 'The Feast Of The Drowned' I've not read or heard a single decent story by this man. The plot is a joke, the characters are paper thin, the excitement is nowhere and the thought of giant worms and gold golems fighting each other may sound fun but he manages to make even that feel lumpy and wooden. The running around by all the characters is always the sign of an author in desperate need of help but the chasing around that goes on here beggars belief. The sadness of watching Rose being turned into a golem, the savage and desperate hunt for a cure and the eventual success are all botched by the writing.

Quite frankly you'd be better off reading a cereal box than giving this one a go.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Gold Death, 17 Dec 2006
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This 5th in the BBC's range of 10th Doctor novels does it's best to justify its medium by offering even more alien mayhem than the current TV series could afford to show on screen, as the Doctor and Rose land in near-future Africa and find themselves caught in the middle of an alien war. The African setting makes a nice change, and the book is certainly busy enough to keep younger readers interested, but older readers might find this a rather too arch, as the novel turns into an over the top battle between the Doctor and some unfortunately phallic worms. At best `The Art of Destruction' can be enjoyed as a tongue-in-cheek comedy romp, but it never quite gels together into anything more satisfying. A fun but very disposable read.
