Synopsis

Nicola Bryant reads an intriguing adventure for the Twelfth Doctor - as played on TV by Peter Capaldi

At Kennedy Space Centre, in 2060, the Doctor meets Amber Lewis. Both are there to observe the launch of Earth’s very first off-world colony ship, as it heads for Jupiter’s sixth moon. But to everyone’s surprise it seems that somebody has reached Europa before them. The figure is oddly familiar to the Doctor and Amber in particular…

So begins the adventure of a lifetime for Amber, as she journeys in the TARDIS to set foot on a distant moon. Events take a bizarre turn when she and the Doctor apparently witness celebrity figures wandering freely on the rocky surface. A sinister presence lurks behind the apparitions, and Amber is about to fall into its clutches.

An alien base, a stranded abductee and a group of sinister ‘Icemen’ all add up to trouble for the Doctor. Can he rescue his new friend and avert disaster on humanity’s new frontier?

Nicola Bryant, who played the Doctor’s companion Peri in Doctor Who in the 1980s, reads this original audiobook by Steve Lyons, based on the hit BBC TV series.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Ashley on October 29, 2017

It was different, he's got a new companion again, this time an older woman (more like Sarah Jane Smith's age I would guess). The creatures in this were weird and the story line was a bit odd. Otherwise it was okay for these series of audio books featuring the 12th Doctor.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on November 16, 2018

Surprisingly fun bit of Doctor Who fluff. Ties together some of the show's recent depictions of human space exploration in the near future, while drawing on disparate influences in that way the series does so well. Light and fun.......more

Goodreads review by Vaughan on July 11, 2020

Another one that could make a good TV episode. This is probably the best Dr Who audio story I've listened to yet (at least in the Capaldi era)... but I'd rather the TV show - these audio books are just missing some of the Dr Who schtick and humour.......more

Goodreads review by Rhys on April 11, 2024

One of the better 12th Doctor stories I’ve listened to in recent times. Average story but decent performance by the Narrator.......more
