Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk, www.forbiddenplanet.com, www.waterstones.com and www.bookdepository.com
“My masters will follow the example of Rome… our mighty empire bestraddling the whole of civilization!”
It is AD 79, and the TARDIS lands in Pompeii on the eve of the town’s destruction. Mount Vesuvius is ready to erupt and bury its surroundings in molten lava, just as history dictates. Or is it?
The Doctor and Donna find that Pompeii is home to impossible things: circuits made of stone, soothsayers who read minds and fiery giants made of burning rock. From a lair deep in the volcano, these creatures plot the end of humanity – and the Doctor soon finds he has no way to win…

January 24th, 2022 - 4:33pmTo judge from some of the older comments, the codes mostly seem to refer to authors’ names.

November 4th, 2021 - 7:07pmMost target books have been re prints in recent years and all are novelisations of episodes, so Robot and Romans are plausible.

November 4th, 2021 - 10:43amAnother speculation, could the JM mean Jo Martin? Not as the writer but a Target book of Fugitive of the Judoon or The Timeless Children? Or even another near-future episode of Flux that has her as one of the main characters? Probably is more likely to mean the author but we can always speculate

November 4th, 2021 - 10:39amHopefully Forbidden Planet will be doing signed versions at some point. I’m loving everyone speculating about the codes.

November 3rd, 2021 - 11:51amP could be Praxeus. R could be the Romans, Robot, Rosa or Resolution. No JMs spring to mind but could be the New Year Episode?

November 3rd, 2021 - 7:04pmJM could be the author? Jamie Mathieson, James Moran or Jonathan Morris?

November 4th, 2021 - 7:12amWhy would it be the Romans or Robot? They’ve already had releases back in the 70 and 80s
