Overview

From Stephen Baxter, master of science fiction and national bestselling author of Bronze Summer, comes an all-new Doctor Who adventure…

Resilience. Remembrance. Restoration.
Whatever the cost.

Hurtling through a vortex beyond time and space is a police box that’s not a police box. The TARDIS has carried the Doctor and his companions, Jamie and Zoe, to all sorts of places, but now, when they don’t want to go anywhere, the TARDIS makes a decision for them. Like it or not, they’re coming in for a landing, who knows where or when…

The Wheel. A ring of ice and metal turning around a moon of Saturn, home to a mining colony supplying a resource-hungry Earth. It’s a bad place to live—and a worse place to grow up.

The colony has been plagued by problems. Maybe it’s only a run of bad luck, but the equipment failures and thefts of resources have been increasing. And there are stories among the children of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the Wheel. Some of the younger workers are even refusing to go down into the warren-like mines any more.

And then one of them, surfing Saturn’s rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from destruction.

Once on the Wheel, the Doctor and his companions face a critical situation when they become suspected by some as the source of the ongoing sabotage.

They soon find themselves caught in a mystery that goes all the way back to the creation of the solar system. A mystery that could destroy the Wheel—and kill them all...

    I love Stephen Baxter's books and I love Dr Who. As I expected, Stephen Baxter nailed it The Doctor,Jamie and Zoe come to life.

    Unlike most of the othe DR Who books being written now, this is not written aimed at younger children. I highly recommend this book.

    It's very rare for me to pick up a Doctor Who novel, as it would

    It's very rare for me to pick up a Doctor Who novel, as it would be incredibly difficult for a book to adequately capture the frantic energy of the show. But when I quite literally stumbled on this, and discovered it featured the Second Doctor (who is my favourite), I had to give it a go.

    Pleasantly, this book perfectly captures the spirit of Patrick Troughton's tenure as the impish Time Lord and weaves an interesting story that, while not quite captivating, is exceedingly entertaining. My only complaint, and it's a rather trivial one at that, is that the book fails to generate a substantial level of suspense that one would expect with the "base-under-siege" type of story that characterized many of the Second Doctor's adventures.

    Still, if you enjoy Doctor Who, or are a fan of Patrick Troughton's Doctor, you certainly cannot go wrong purchasing this book, and it is well worth every penny.

His name was oralkit. But when he was in there.... he chnged his name to espio. He took over warriors and he would never leave that building until now. All the cats were doing a raiding party called peaceclan and leopardclan. Leopardclan was heading towards the giant computer so that espio or oraltooth now since he is a warrior... locked up the computer. They only new the passcode even peaceclan did and it was 0011 and they kept it until we did another raiding arty but this time all the cats except the GOA cats did megaclan. Then a familiar voice came....... END OF PART ONE! WHO IS THE FAMILIAR VOICE???? PLEASE REPLY TO RAVENSTAR AND JAYSOAR WHO YOU THINK IT IS!!!!!!! PART TWO COMING SOON!!!!! RAVENSTAR AND JAYSOAR
