Beautiful Chaos

The Doctor and Donna battle an ancient force from the Dark Times - the latest in the bestselling Doctor Who fiction range from BBC Books. Donna Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather is especially overjoyed - he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in Earth's heavens. Particularly that bright star, right there. No not that one, that one, there, on the left... The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry, and all-consuming... Featuring the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television.

The Eyeless

In the latest of the bestselling Doctor Who novels, the Doctor battles a mysterious weapon on a barren, war-torn planet - and this time he's all on his own. 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 deep in the heart of the Fortress. Now only the ghosts remain. The Doctor arrives, and determines to fight his way past the Fortress's 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 Story Of Martha

The full story of Martha Jones' 'lost year' helping defeat the Master - the latest in the bestselling Doctor Who Fiction range from BBC Books. For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the world telling people stories about the Doctor. She told people of how the Doctor has saved them before, and how he will save them again. This is that story. It tells of Martha's travels from her arrival on Earth as the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that terrible year. But it's more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells - the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven't heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world... Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.

Definitely getting the Story of Martha. I like Dan Abnett's stuff. Everyone should check out Marvel comic's Guardians of the Galaxy if they haven't.

Does the format of these books somehow tell us something of the future? "Beautiful Chaos", Donna is back on Earth..."Story of Martha" is telling us something that has already happened...And in "The Eyeless" He's alone....Hmmm, just pondering...
