For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the world telling people stories about the Doctor. She told people of how the Doctor has saved them before, and how he will save them again.
This is that story. It tells of Martha’s travels from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that terrible year.
But it’s more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells – the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven’t heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world…
Featuring the Tenth Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.
Fantastic addition to the canonical story I really enjoyed this book, enough to read it twice in quick succession. This is all the more impressive as I really don’t particularly like the character of Martha Jones and would mark her lowest of the “new Who” companions.Starting and ending with Martha’s arrival back in Britain, different segments of the story have been written by different authors and I think this is a strength. I found it really interesting to fill in some of the gaps of her year abroad whilst the Master ruled and was particularly gripped by her visit to Japan. Thoroughly recommended.
Suprisingly Dark I really enjoyed this book, I think it’s unlike many of the New Series novels, and the reason it’s not been recieved as ultimatley fantastic is that it’s so different to the other novels that its unnerving at times. There hasn’t really been a novel that has relied on continuity so much, and a novel that has the abillity to end on a dark note because we all ready know the ending.I say by all means get this book because it’s pretty fantastic (admittedly I enjoyed the actual story of martha rather than the stories she tells the prisoners of earth) Plus it makes watching Last Of The Timelords 10 x Better and more intense!
