Synopsis

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 is 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 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 seven centimetres high. With the Vykoid army swarming across Manhattan and sealing it from the world with a powerful alien force field, 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? Olivia Colman (Broadchurch, Peep Show) reads this thrilling adventure featuring the Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

Goodreads review by Adam on September 18, 2021

While this is a somewhat enjoyable romp, I do feel as if this was written before the first series starring Smith and Gillan in their roles was aired, therefore the portrayals of each character, while getting the jist in a general sense, does perhaps seem to be lacking in areas, emphasizing their mor......more

Goodreads review by Peter on September 15, 2020

This is aimed at the 11 year and up age group and it shows by using the odd "sound effect". Unfairly critisised by adult reviewers here but loved by the children of friends and family who enjoy this exciting style. A break-neck pace and the 30 odd school kids help the Doctor save the day. So stop grump......more

Goodreads review by Tatiana on July 27, 2011

A polar woolly mammoth coming to life in the Museum of Natural History is just the start of a bad day for the Big Apple. Miniscule Vykoid aliens spearhead an invasion to capture the able-bodied adults of New York City for slaves in the mines of their homeplanet, wielding Time Freeze force fields and......more
