Product Description

Product Description

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 Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television, "Wishing Well" is read by Debbie Chazen, who played Foon Van Hoff in the TV episode "Voyage of the Damned".

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read.., 4 Jan 2008
By Alison Johnson "Alipeeps" (North of England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Doctor Who - Wishing Well (New Series Adventure 19) (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 Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Doctor Who - Wishing Well (New Series Adventure 19) (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wishing Well, 8 April 2008
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Doctor Who - Wishing Well (New Series Adventure 19) (Hardcover)
The 10th Doctor and Martha find themselves up against an alien weed creature that is hidden beneath an ancient well in this BBC Books novel. 'Wishing Well' has some nice characterisation, a dash of humour, and some pleasantly creepy moments - the only downside is the complete lack of any original ideas, with the novel coming over as a rather generic 'alien monster of the week'.

Well written (pun not intended) but uninspired, 'Wishing Well' will certainly entertain anyone looking for a dose of the Doctor for a two or three hours, but this is a novel that will be forgotten within an hour of turning the last page.
