Synopsis

Mark Gatiss reads the brand new novelisation of the Twelfth Doctor’s dramatic final adventure. Still reeling from his encounter with the Cybermen, the First Doctor stumbles through the bitter Antarctic wind, resisting the approaching regeneration with all his strength. But as he fights his way through the snowdrifts, he comes across the familiar shape of a blue police box, and a mysterious figure who introduces himself as the Doctor…

Thrown together at their most vulnerable moments, the two Doctors must discover why the snowflakes are suspended in the sky, why a First World War Captain has been lifted from his time stream moments before his death, and who is the mysterious Glass Woman who knows their true name. The Doctor is reunited with Bill, but is she all she seems? And can he hold out against the coming regeneration?

Goodreads review by Ken on October 03, 2018

With the Thirteenth Doctor’s arrival the weekend, I just had a real urge to read Twelve’s swan song beforehand. I’ve always liked this original televised episode. Capaldi and Moffat were originally intending to leave at the end of Series 10, so the fact that they managed to add in an extra episode fo......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on August 01, 2018

Back in the 1970s and into the 1980s, the only way fans of Doctor Who often could encounter an older story was by reading it. The Target novelizations, slim books often running little more than 150 pages, was the cornerstone of the show's merchandise. These days, of course, that isn't the case with......more

Goodreads review by Adam on September 02, 2018

I thought that this was a decent novelisation of the 2017 christmas special which stands up as a good example of the novelisation form which Cornell has taken to like a duck to water. I would heartily recommend this as it had stuff in it that didn't appear in the episode but also adds little extra b......more

Goodreads review by Tony on April 06, 2018

Another really enjoyable read. Cornell's approach was slightly different to RTDs in that he seems to have made an effort to make it a homage (as opposed to a pastiche) of an old-school Target novelisation. It feels like it might - with the odd difference here and there - have been written by Terranc......more

"Doctor, I let you go." Pride Month 2019 - Reading Challange - Book 3 I have to say out of all of the Doctor Who Target Collection books, this is my favourite. I did enjoy Doctor Who: Rose, but it wasn't really anything extremely special. I really did not enjoy Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor, f......more
