Product Description

Product Description

The Doctor's rather manic attempts to refamiliarise himself with the workings of the TARDIS result in the crew finding themselves stranded on an extremely inhospitable planet, as the TARDIS sinks through the cracking ice it landed on. This is Endpoint, the last planet in a crumbled galaxy, where hairless post-humans scrape out an existence on the noxious, barely habitable surface. In their efforts to persuade someone to resurrect the TARDIS, they encounter the real power on Endpoint, a cyborg named Silver, whose enhanced capabilities and mastery of technology mean he dictates what really happens, not only in the capital city, Hope, but on the entire planet. But he is worried: there is something going on that is beyond even his control. In increasing numbers, people are being killed on the streets of Hope. As the Doctor investigates, he discovers a hidden community below the surface of Endpoint, who are desperate enough to kill...

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!!, 28 Aug 2008
I flew through this book, it's brilliant. I love the idea that the first thing the Doctor and co want to do when they find a body is get back to the Tardis and scarper.

I also really liked seeing the Doctor stick around after the puzzle is unravelled. I'd say this book is one of my favorite's to date, definately worth reading but it helps if you've read 'Escape Velocity' first as a story line does continue on from it.

A refreshing must for EDA fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Murder. Mystery and Cyborgs, 2 May 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This original Eighth Doctor novel features Paul McGann's incarnation of the nomadic Time Lord, with companions Fritz Kreiner - a young man from Earth in the 196os, and Anji Kapoor a stockbroker and rationalist, also from Earth but born in the 1970s.
As the story opens we see The Doctor pushing the TARDIS to its limit, but this backfires when the Time craft begins to break up. The travellers manage to land on the surface of a frozen sea of acid on the planet Endpoint, in the distant future. When the ice begins to break up, The companions flee to the nearby city of Hope, only to see the TARDIS sink to the bottom of the sea. In Hope, a policeman investigating a series of particularly grisly murders explains that the planet is toxic, so the humans on it had to evolve to survive; however, a serial killer has recently appeared on the scene and has has been decapitating people. The Doctor agrees to help a cyborg named Silver solve the crimes, in return for having his TARDIS retrieved and returned to him.

With hints that the so-called 'Brotherhood of the Silver Fist' are using abandoned Cyber-technology to turn themselves into super-humans, this novel has several intriguing premises. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to its early promise, and is ultimately less than the sum of its parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anji's choice, 16 Mar 2002
Hope is a very clever novel that subverts expectations at almost every level. It is not only a good Doctor Who book but a superb SF piece. As a charcter drama it works superbly by placing Anji in centre stage and her scenes with the Doctor after he discovers her betrayl are stunning.
Another in a long line of successful books by the BBC.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the solo novel we were hoping for...
Initial impressions of Hope suggest that it's going to be a dark, atmospheric book with a mood akin to Blade Runner. Read more
