Doctor Who: The Blood Cell (12th Doctor novel)
Doctor Who: The Blood Cell (12th Doctor novel) (Hardback)
“Release the Doctor – or the killing will start.”
An asteroid in the furthest reaches of space – the most secure prison for the most dangerous of criminals. The Governor is responsible for the cruellest murderers. So he’s not impressed by the arrival of the man they’re calling the most dangerous criminal in the quadrant. Or, as he prefers to be known, the Doctor.
But when the new prisoner immediately sets about trying to escape, and keeps trying, the Governor sets out to find out why.
Who is the Doctor and what’s he really doing here? And who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards? When the killing finally starts, the Governor begins to get his answers…

September 7th, 2014 - 3:38pmJust seen this in WH Smiths Skipton. They had two copies, and didn’t have the other two new books.
Didn’t buy it, as you can get them for £5.24 online, plus I’m still reading ‘Engines of War’…

July 15th, 2014 - 5:51pmYou know your gravatar, where is that promo image from, aka, which episode and if so, the link to it would be a big help? Many thanks in return.

Nicholas
July 15th, 2014 - 11:10amIt’s been a welcome change to have a new Doctor on all this merchandise XD
Shall definitely get these. There are about 15 or so books I still need to complete this collection but I’ll get these first.
Radburn
June 11th, 2014 - 2:26pmIt would be nice if Amazon could actually get their Listings correct for these books: All are listed twice on Amazon with incorrect dates, publishers, authors, bindings, etc…
Radburn
July 15th, 2014 - 8:45pmThe second listings on Amazon which have now changed (Currently without Front Cover pics) are the Hardback versions due out 11/9/14…

Doctorfan
June 4th, 2014 - 8:07amAre these series 8 tie ins
If they are that might be why they are releasing them late so they dont spoil the plot
Dalek 95
July 15th, 2014 - 7:54amNo.
Dalek 95
July 15th, 2014 - 7:55amThey’re not part of series 8. They are just story’s for the whovians who like to read.

July 15th, 2014 - 12:13pmDefinitely not, if they charge you for it, it cannot be part of the series canon or they breach the BBC charter.
That’s why only Big Finish is canon out of all the “other stuff”, because that can be broadcast on radio.
Fezmeister
July 15th, 2014 - 12:23pmIt can be canon. You can’t be required to buy it to understand aspects of the television series, however.

Doctorfan
June 4th, 2014 - 7:37amAnd who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards? Is probably Clara
T4RD1S
June 2nd, 2014 - 8:16pmis clara in any of these?
Sam Richard Bentley
June 2nd, 2014 - 8:29pmShe;s definitely in ‘Silhouette’, and I can’t see why she wouldn’t be in any of the others.
100000BC
July 15th, 2014 - 1:06pmShe’s on the cover of the others and I presume she is the woman who visits him in the Blood Cell.
