Synopsis

When Lord Woolcroft and his team break open the fabled Tomb of Artemis, sealed for thousands of years, they are astonished by what they find inside... The Doctor and Amy have come to Smyrna in 1929 to investigate a mystery. The Doctor knows that something very bad happened there: something that caused a lot of people to die and an entire, magnificent Temple to be found and then immediately lost again. But he doesn't know what is picking off the archaeologists one by one, or how it is connected to the terrifying howling in the night. And as he and Amy get closer to the terrible truth behind an ancient evil, he begins to wish he'd never found out. Written specially for audio by James Goss, and read by Matt Smith as the Doctor and Clare Corbett as Helen Stapleton, The Hounds of Artemis features the Doctor and Amy Pond as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

Goodreads review by Shawn on September 01, 2014

A clever if somewhat clunky adventure by the Doctor. Told mostly in diary entries made by Amy Pond, this is a pretty good story. I would have liked it just straight adventure, as the diary entries don't add anything extra to the story telling and don't sound much like the character of Amy. Could rea......more

Goodreads review by Charlotte on March 18, 2018

The story could have been amazing but the two narrators were a bit off-putting and did not get the story to move forward smoothly. If you had Karen Gillan to read the Amy bits in the audio book it would have been 4 stars.......more

Goodreads review by Just a Girl Fighting Censorship on August 20, 2013

3.5 STARS I feel like the setting and plot of this story would have made it a 5 but the way it was told was ridiculous. The attempt was to tell the story through two prespectives the first being the 'present' perspective (when the events are actually occuring)which is wonderfully narrated by Matt Smi......more


Quotes

Smith’s performance is exactly as I’ve come to expect from him – flawless and exuberant when playing the Doctor, and inventive when it comes to breathing life into new characters http://www.doctorwhoreviews.co.uk

Smith and Corbett prove an excellent match when it comes to reading the narrative and portraying the various protagonists... writer James Goss has succeeded in creating... one of the strongest audio stories in the range http://www.huntspost.co.uk
