 Apollo
23
BBC Books / Random House
By Justin Richards
11th Doctor
RRP: £6.99
Released:
22nd April 2010
‘Houston – we have a problem.’
An astronaut in full spacesuit appears out of thin air in a busy shopping
centre. Maybe it’s a publicity stunt.
A photo shows an immaculately-dressed woman in her best shoes lying dead at the
edge of a crater on the dark side of the moon – beside her beloved dog
‘Poochie’. Maybe it’s a hoax.
But as the Doctor and Amy find out, these are just minor events in a sinister
plan to take over every human being on earth. The plot centres on a secret
military base on the moon – that’s where Amy and the TARDIS are.
The Doctor is back on Earth, and without the TARDIS there’s no way he can get to
the moon to save Amy and defeat the aliens.
Or is there? The Doctor discovers one last great secret that could save
humanity: Apollo 23.

of the Humans

By David Llewellyn
11th Doctor
RRP: £6.99
Released:
22nd April 2010
‘‘This is the Gyre – the most
hostile environment in the galaxy.’ 250,000 years’ worth of junk floating in
deep space, home to the shipwrecked Sittuun, the carnivorous Sollogs, and worst
of all – the Humans.
The Doctor and Amy arrive on this terrifying world in the middle of an all-out
frontier war between Sittuun and Humans, and the clock is already ticking.
There’s a comet in the sky, and it’s on a collision course with the Gyre...
When the Doctor is kidnapped, it’s up to Amy and “galaxy-famous swashbuckler”
Dirk Slipstream to save the day. But who is Slipstream, exactly? And what is he
really doing here?

Forgotten Army
BBC Books / Random House
By Brian Minchin
11th Doctor
RRP: £6.99
Released:
22nd April 2010
‘Let me tell you a story. Long ago,
in the frozen Arctic wastes, an alien army landed. Only now, 10,000 years later,
it isn’t a story. And the army is ready to attack.’
New York – one of the greatest cities on 21st century Earth... But what’s going
on in the Museum? And is that really a Woolly Mammoth rampaging down Broadway?
An ordinary day becomes a time of terror, as Ice Age creatures come back to
life, and the Doctor and Amy meet a new and deadly enemy. The vicious Army of
the Vykoid are armed to the teeth and determined to enslave the human race. Even
though they’re only three inches high.
With the Doctor kidnapped, and the Vykoid army swarming across Manhattan and
sealing it from the world with a powerful alien forcefield, Amy has just 24
hours to find the Doctor and save the city. If she doesn’t, the people of
Manhattan will be taken to work in the doomed asteroid mines of the Vykoid home
planet. But as time starts to run out, who can she trust? And how far will she
have to go to free New York from the Forgotten Army?
