Synopsis

At the heart of the ruined city of Arcopolis is the Fortress. It’s a brutal structure placed here by one of the sides in a devastating intergalactic war that’s long ended. Fifteen years ago the entire population of the planet was killed in an instant by the weapon housed in the heart of the Fortress. Now only the ghosts remain. The Doctor arrives, and determines to fight his way past the Fortress’ automatic defences and put the weapon beyond use. But he soon discovers he’s not the only person in Arcopolis. What is the true nature of the weapon? Is the planet really haunted? Who are the Eyeless? And what will happen if they get to the weapon before the Doctor? The Doctor has a fight on his hands. And this time he’s all on his own. Featuring the Doctor as played by David Tennant in the hit series from BBC Television, The Eyeless is read by Russell Tovey, who played Midshipman Alonso Frame in the TV episode Voyage of the Damned.

The tenth doctor arrives on a planet whose population is nearly completely wiped out because of a super weapon. And the doctor’s there to destroy it. Quite a dark but a bit boring Doctor Who story in a fascinating setting.......more

Goodreads review by Isabella on January 28, 2022

Rating: 3 stars Ugh, I am getting really sluggish when it comes to Goodreads this year. Whatever - I read this book. It was Doctor Who so of course I read it. But even though it was DW, it referenced Star Trek! And The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! And more! (But don't quote me on that. I'm writi......more
